We are seeking expressions of interest from facilitators to deliver new online workshops as part of our 2026 professional learning program. These workshops will broaden and complement our existing program by aligning directly with the domains and competencies outlined in the Evaluators Professional Learning Competency Framework.
Please note that the online workshop proposal process uses the same submission form and link as the AES conference workshop proposals. When completing your submission, follow the instructions carefully and ensure you select “Online Workshop” as your workshop type.
This is an open call for online workshop proposals. While we provide a list of suggested topics, there are no restrictions on what you may propose. If you see a gap in the current program, believe an emerging area needs attention, or have a new or innovative idea to contribute, this is your opportunity. We welcome fresh concepts, expanded perspectives, and new approaches that will strengthen the AES learning program. See the tips below for a list of current online workshops.
We are calling for proposals for full-day and half-day online workshops.
- Full-day workshops are delivered over two 3-hour sessions, usually one week apart.
- Half-day workshops are delivered as one 3-hour session, or two 90-minute sessions held one week apart.
Workshops must be designed using adult learning principles, be interactive, and maximise participant engagement. Workshops may target those new to evaluation or more advanced practitioners. Facilitators should clearly indicate the intended level of expertise—beginner, intermediate, advanced, or all levels.
Workshop content should focus on developing knowledge, understanding and competencies, evaluation techniques and practices. You will be asked to provide detail on how your workshop aligns to the Evaluators Professional Learning Competency Framework.
All workshops will be delivered via the AES Zoom business account. Facilitators must be confident using Zoom and providing accessible, shareable resources for participants.
