-There is a need to find a language all Marine CoLAB participants understand, paying attention to jargon. There is a difference between the term "values" and "value", both are part of one whole, but can be understood quite differently. Sue’s session focused on values that connect people and places. What is important in a place? Values are developed through experience and interaction, and form the heartfelt connections between the people and a place, adding to human wellbeing. From these connections "cultural ecosystem services" beyond monetary value can be developed. They include a wider context, create whole ecosystems of interconnected disciplines (e.g. conservation, economy, mythology, wellbeing…) and incorporate different ways of talking and telling stories about a place.  They deliver benefits to human wellbeing and are connected to other ecosystem services.+== Presentation by Sue Ranger ==

 In order to uncover deeper values, we need to start with basic connectedness (of people and places, different disciplines, different people. This can form a glue, a common basis and shared understanding.  In order to uncover deeper values, we need to start with basic connectedness (of people and places, different disciplines, different people.

 +== Discussion ==
 +
 +The values based approach is the hallmark of Marine CoLAB, a prism or lens through which the LAB and its activities are designed and assessed. Filling the gap between the values of humans and the value of oceans. The value of oceans tends to be misunderstood and needs to be communicated differently. An **iconic campaign** might help, as well as focusing on issues by describing the value of oceans, such as the plastics project and other **values based experiments**, that would include learning, capturing, evaluation, etc. 
 +
 +There are different methods to approach values, depending on the theory of change applied. Should Marine CoLAB have one or more theory of change? Is there a generic TOC or a range of context specific theories that can mobilise new voices and gather evidence? Is the uniqueness of Marine CoLAB’s TOC important? Would it not be more relevant to focus on adding value? 
 +
 +What are the values of Marine CoLAB? Could **shared values** be Marine CoLAB’s focus at all times and across all projects?  Is there a spectrum of existing values that are shared (instrinsic/extrinsic, economic & cultural, individual & collective, etc.)? By working with a range of different values this approach can focus on whichever value catalyses different target groups - starting from their existing values, connecting them to oceans and each other, making the values collective and shared. 
 +
 +How to begin using a values based approach in Marine CoLAB: **learn by doing**:
 +  * invite speakers
 +  * share readings
 +  * personal exercises (akin to Sue’s values presentation)
 +  * incorporating it in projects
 +  * values a part of all Marine CoLAB communication
