CuriousiTree: Celebrating beautiful questions

About the Event
As artificial intelligence transforms how information is created and consumed, the evaluation profession faces a fundamental shift. In this changing landscape, the most critical capabilities for evaluators are curiousity, evaluative reasoning and creating spaciousness that invites different ways of knowing.
We unify these capabilities as the power of "beautiful questions" - inspired through the work of David Whyte.
This session introduces CuriousiTree, a new podcast for impact professionals designed to encourage connection, to foster discernment and to celebrate human intelligence. We centre the spirit of inquiry in the evaluation profession, which is in stark contrast to the "instant answers" promised by AI. CuriousiTree seeks to facilitate peer-to-peer learning and enable collective discovery to uncover future-focused answers.
This interactive workshop will function as a "live episode" where participants are introduced to the concept of beautiful questions, invited to frame their own questions, and encouraged to engage in CuriousiTree to shape our field together.
