- | The main purpose of the Lisbon session is to strengthen the sense of direction and shared values for the Marine CoLAB. There will also be several opportunities to extend the community by building connections with Portugese marine NGOs. On Thursday (23/09) we will have a full day for a Marine CoLAB session. On Wednesday you will have the chance to jointly decide on the content, format and desired outcomes of this session, in line with the broader Marine CoLAB goal of communicating the value of the oceans.

- | ====Notes 2015-09-23==== | + | A field trip to Portugal might seem as a luxury, but spending time together as a team in a different context can be essential for bringing the group closer together and advancing the vision and specific projects. Being with each other in formal sessions, on the bus and socialising before and after the sessions allowed the participants to get to know each other in a range of situations and hear about different aspects of their work and life. |
- | (a proposed agenda) | + | The first session in the lighthouse of Nazare introduced the participants to the Portugese marine conservation context, as well as provided time to think about what the participants wanted to achieve as Marine CoLAB in general, as well as specifically discuss what the purpose of the Lab sessions on Thursday would be. |

+ | Marine CoLAB reflections after the field trip: | ||
+ | * Good to exchange with Portugese NGOs in their ' | ||
+ | * Disconnect: realisation that even though the Portugese sector is small, it is still quite disconnected. The participants emphasized the value of exchange and connection between the NGOs, between the fishermen and the communities, | ||
+ | * Realisation that a more holistic values based approach might help to bring marine issues closer to people who don’t understand or don’t care. | ||
+ | * Challenges in the Portugese and UK sector are similar. Marine CoLAB could offer mentoring to the Portugese sector, in order to encourage leapfrogging. | ||
