The May Session of Hot Topics in Practice will draw on real-world examples from local evaluations to explain how participatory approaches shift traditional notions of rigor, expertise, and success. By viewing this webinar, participants will better understand common tensions faced in local government and funder-driven contexts, including balancing accountability to predefined outcomes with the relational and process-oriented work required for meaningful participation.
