Karla Sanders - Involving Tamariki and Taiohi in Evaluation 

In this workshop Karla will discuss how to effectively involve Tamariki and Taiohi in evaluations. She will share examples of best practice when designing evaluation measures as well as undertaking evaluation WITH tamariki and taiohi. The value of this approach is grounded in a belief that young people are crucial partners in evaluation and including them in mana affirming ways should be celebrated and supported.

This workshop will be suitable to organisations and individuals exploring how evaluation could better affirm the mana of young people but it could also apply to those more familiar with evaluation but may not have had experience partnering with youth.

Karla Sanders, MNZM, is the CEO and Co-Founder of Sticks 'n Stones, a bullying prevention charity based in New Zealand. She is dedicated to empowering youth and facilitating positive change through education and advocacy. Sanders has been recognized for her contributions to social welfare and education, earning the title of Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) for her services. Her work focuses on creating safe and inclusive environments for young people.
