 ==== Marine CoLABoration Workshop - November 2015 ==== ==== Marine CoLABoration Workshop - November 2015 ====
  
-A [[start|Marine CoLAB]] workshop held at the London Zoo on the 25th of November 2015. This was the last workshop of the first year of [[start|Valuing the Oceans Initiative]]. Louisa Hooper compared it to standing at the seashore at low tide, with rocks and mud emerging from under water, when we can begin to see the peaks, as well as what lies beneath. One of the biggest challenges for this workshop and the year ahead is how work more effectively with the resources available. The importance of keeping the big picture visible was emphasised, alongside the practicalities of projects, activities and campaigns. +The last [[start|Marine CoLAB]] workshop in 2015, held at the London Zoo on the 25th of November.

 In the morning the participants focused om **Marine CoLAB as a whole**. Beginning with a reflection on //Marine CoLAB so far//, looking at what has worked and what needs more work. Grounded in this experience they moved into a visioning process lead by Giles to clarify the Marine CoLAB //vision and mission//. At the end of the morning Sue took the group through a beautiful presentation and discussion of a //values based approach//, as a lens that can be used to shape and evaluate projects, experiments and the initiative itself. In the afternoon, the focus shifted to the **Marine CoLAB project incubator**, beginning with a broad //mapping of existing and emerging projects// by participating organisations which could be relevant to Marine CoLAB facilitated by Aniol. Two following sessions discussed the projects that emerged from previous workshops: possible directions for //GameOn// guided by Sandy and a working/planning session for the //Plastic Bottles project// lead by Heather. The day ended with a session about the future of **Marine CoLAB in 2016**. In the morning the participants focused om **Marine CoLAB as a whole**.
