| Based on these two drivers, we created four [[workshop_201501?&#scenarios|scenarios]] and asked how Marine CoLAB would change the world in four quite different yet possible futures. What emerged were a few interesting directions, each of which involved changing the world through establishing or strengthening connections. Marine CoLab was creating links between the ocean and society, between governments and corporations, it was bridging the gaps between local and global governance of oceans, and working towards sustainable growth by integrating values with innovation. Even though these [[workshop_201501#answers_to_the_core_question|answers]] emerged from speculative scenarios set six to ten years in the future, any of them could become a Marine CoLAB initiative much sooner than that. Whether they will be taken up depends on your interests and experience. | Based on these two drivers, we created four [[workshop_201501?&#scenarios|scenarios]] and asked how Marine CoLAB would change the world in four quite different yet possible futures.

| The [[workshop_201503#challengeshypotheses|challenges and hypotheses]] that emerged from the participants current work and discussions during the workshop included systemic change and connecting disparate actions and experiments, public engagement with rules, valuing the cultural dimension of oceans, as well as the need to change perceptions of marine conservation in general and NGOs in particular. Based on these challenges, the participants designed five [[workshop_201503#experiments]] that could be implemented on the short term (until July 2015), but can also form the basis of longer term investigations within Marine CoLAB. | The [[workshop_201503#challengeshypotheses|challenges and hypotheses]] that emerged from the participants current work and discussions during the workshop included systemic change and connecting disparate actions and experiments, public engagement with rules, valuing the cultural dimension of oceans, as well as the need to change perceptions of marine conservation in general and NGOs in particular.

| | === Workshop #3 201505 === |
| | |
| | The third Marine CoLAB workshop had a twofold purpose: building on the themes and experiments from the previous workshops and deepening the connection with the participants’ organisational contexts and current work. While the first two workshops focused on individual personalities and talents, in the May workshop the participants introduced their [[workshop_201505?&#organisational_introductions|professional contexts]]. This gave some indications about how existing work could contribute to Marine CoLAB and perhaps form new connections for (bilateral) collaborations and experiments. Participants continued their discussion around the three [[workshop_201505#emerging_themes|emerging themes]] of Systems Change, Changing Perceptions and Public Engagement. The discussion presented these themes as broad challenges for Marine CoLAB as a whole and looked at the relationship to the proposed (or new) experiments. |
| | |
| | In the afternoon the group agreed on the experiments they will develop until the next workshop and settled on [[plastic_pollution_experiment|Plastic Pollution]] and [[transparency_experiment|Transparency of Marine Industries]]. Two of the experiments designed at in March, [[game_on_experiment|Game On!]] and [[gone_fishing_in_the_thames_experiment|Gone Fishing in the Thames]] will continue to be developed but were not discussed further at the workshop. Before the designs were finalised, they were tested using a role playing exercise called a [[workshop_201505?&#pre-enactment|pre-enactment]] to challenge some of the participants’ assumptions from different points of view. The workshop ended with a design and planning session for the groups to clarify their [[workshop_201505?&#implementation|implementation]] plans. Follow-up conversations are planned through conference calls, emails and wiki updates, aiming to have the first experimental results to present at the next workshop. |

| | === Workshop #4 201507 === |
| | |
| | The fourth workshop brought to an end the scoping phase of the Marine CoLAB.The experiments were concluded, providing insight and preliminary results that were shared in the group. There were two main purposes for the workshop: to clarify what has been learnt from the experiments and to introduce collbaorative processes to enable these (or similar) experiments to be used as a foundation for larger, longer term projects, using an iterative, experimental approach. |
