 \n\n<p>How about really shaking up the foundations of evaluation practice?
 </p>\n\n<p>In this initiative\, we believe that changing practices begins 
 with changing concepts and understanding contexts\, bringing new (and not 
 at all new) ontologies\, to change epistemologies and transform methodolog
 ies.</p>\n\n<p>This is the aim of &quot\;Alternative Evaluation\,&quot\;&n
 bsp\;a collective and collaborative project that aims to be the hub of dif
 ferent ontologies applied to evaluation methodologies. Indigenous evaluati
 on perspectives\, decolonized evaluation\, southern evaluation\, Culturall
 y Responsive Evaluations\, ethnic\, religious and gender perspectives in e
 valuations from around the world come together here\, to facilitate analys
 is\, reflection and reflexivity of evaluators.</p>\n\n<p>It seeks to ampli
 fy the criteria\, the evaluation questions and indicators\, promoting real
 ly useful evaluations for decision makers in the public sector\, but also 
 for principals and recipients in a community or a special sector\, and mak
 e a difference.</p>\n\n<p>The presentation will show a website created to 
 this end\, to easily navigate and use the information\, and will share som
 e common issues and differences between cases\, highlighting good practice
 s and challenges.</p>\n\n<p><strong>About the Presenter</strong></p>\n\n<p
