This is the programme for the three days (14 − 16 February 2012). Meant to structure the 3 days, the schedule remains open for on the fly improvisation and improvement.

Group members get to know one another and divide various roles among themselves (can be changed during the 3 workshop days), such as process manager (keeping an eye on time), spokesperson, discussion leader, documentation, visualization of ideas.
13:15 Departure to case locations; on-site introduction to local setting and issues; meeting and/or mapping stakeholders.
The goal of this afternoon is to get a sense of the actual issues at stake from the perspectives of the various (latent) stakeholders. How can we best define the central issue at stake? Who is involved or should be involved? Who is not engaged, and why have they so far not engaged with the common issue? What are the various overlapping and conflicting interests of stakeholders?
