Abstract (English): In the context of Indigenous and decolonial evaluation, who is doing the work matters, the way that we do this work matters, and how stories of this work is shared matters. Based on their experiences as Learning Facilitators, the authors share their insights and questions about how learning might be supported through an embedded learning approach. A conversational approach used to share these learnings is congruent with the ways of working that the authors have established as important within their Community of Practice. Two key areas are addressed. First, we share experiences engaging in a EleV Learning Facilitators Community of Practice including the potential value and opportunity that a Community of Practice can offer when working within an Indigenous evaluation and learning framework. Second, we share experiences, insights, learning, and questions about the role, purpose, and opportunities in embedding Learning Facilitators in initiatives that focus on systems change.

Abstract (French): Dans un contexte d'évaluation autochtone et décoloniale, la personne qui fait le travail, la façon dont le travail se fait et le mode de mise en commun du travail effectué ont une égale importance. En se fondant sur leurs expériences comme facilitateurs d'apprentissage, les auteurs font part des leçons apprises et des questions qu'ils se posent sur la façon dont l'apprentissage pourrait être appuyé par une approche d'apprentissage intégré. Une approche conversationnelle utilisée pour la mise en commun de ces apprentissages est conforme aux modes de travail que les auteurs ont établi comme étant importants au sein de leurs communautés de pratique. Il est question de deux domaines clés. D'abord, on traite des expériences au sein d'une communauté de pratique de facilitateurs d'apprentissage EleV, y compris la valeur potentielle et les occasions de développement qu'une communauté de pratique peut offrir quand il est question de travail effectué dans un cadre d'évaluation et d'apprentissage autochtone. Ensuite, on traite d'expériences, de conclusions, d'apprentissage et de questions relatives au rôle, à la raison d'être et aux occasions de développement liés à l'intégration de facilitateurs de l'apprentissage dans des projets axés sur la modification de systèmes.
