Abstract
This paper explores the growing understanding of facilitating evaluation as an evaluation that facilitates. In social innovation and societal transformation processes, we learned that classical evaluations promote a predominantly project managerial approach to transformation and often get in the way of what the French philosopher Francois Jullien calls an organic, silent transformation. This paper shares the experience of how, from a safe and nourishing space, a humanizing society emanates. It embraces the experience of growing a shared understanding of the metamorphic transformation of social ecosystems from co-reflected lived experiences. It shares the experience of how this growing a shared understanding becomes an evaluation that facilitates the very process of the silent transformation of societal metamorphosis. We are looking at the processual unity of processes of metamorphic transformation and their evaluation.
