Description
Summary:This article presents activities and games as tools to promote trust and engagement in evaluation of interventions or initiatives designed and implemented to serve Latino/a/e/x communities in the United States and in Latin America. The diversity among Latino/a/e/x communities requires that evaluators be acquainted with practical ways to facilitate culturally sensitive and responsive engagement processes. Traditional games are practical engagement tools that can stimulate and foster inclusivity. Traditional games may be used in evaluation and research among Latino/a/e/x communities with diverse experiences and affiliations to local mission‐driven organizations that commission evaluation studies.
