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.
