 === Workshop Summary ===
-The day started with introduction and setting the context from Louisa and a few quick updates from projects.
+The day started with introduction and setting the context from Louisa and a few quick updates from projects.The participants were keen to finalise the mission, timeline and workplan for 2016, which were further developed between the workshops, and update each other about ongoing projects. The {{:marine_colab:colab_vmos_final.docx|mission, vision and communication}} document, as proposed by Mirella von Lindenfels, was broadly agreed on. For the timeline the participants created a visual diagram of the year populated with activities, milestones and meetings. These were first defined for the themes We Think and We Test, lead by Aniol Esteban. The group tackled the themes We Share and We Learn during the Action Learning session, lead by Giles Bristow. In the session on How we Plan, the group looked at the possible governance structure for Marine CoLAB and identified the activities needed in this work stream. By the end of the morning the timeline and workplan were finalised and agreed upon. The final agreed work plan is {{:marine_colab:lab_plan_for_2016.xlsx|here}}.
-We finalised the timeline and workplan for 2016. Aniol shared a compiled version of this in advance and led the session. We populated the wall with a visual template along the 2016 timeline. Activities on post-its, were added and milestones arranged across the rest of 2016.
+The afternoon was dedicated to consultation sessions. The first session was lead by Sophie Maxwell on the Chagos project from ZSL. She presented the project and two core questions for the group to work on. The session ended with a discussion on how to evaluate impact for the Chagos project and Marine CoLAB's Game On project, which share some hypotheses and methodologies. Interconnections between these two projects were explored. The second consultation was on the MPA and coastal communities project, with an update from Sandy Luk, who led the session. The group discussed the project, including planning a half-day workshop and next steps.
-There was broad agreement that the mission, vision and communications shared by Mirella are finalised and agreed by the group.

-We finalised activities and milestones and meetings scheduled for around the themes “We Think” and “We Test.”
+Sophie Maxwell asked the participants what was the "recipe" that so successfully brought this group together. Below are some of the reflections from the group:
-We then tackled the themes “We share” and “We Learn” during the Action Learning session, which was lead by Giles.

-We also looked at the “How we Plan” governance and structure to identify the activities needed and used the last half hour before lunch to update the timeline and work plan for 2016 and beyond. The final agreed work plan is here.
-The afternoon was an inspiring consultation session on the Chagos project. Sophie Maxwell gave us a short introduction and 2 key questions and we split in two groups to brainstorm ideas. Some of these are summarised on the images below.
-This lead into the question on how how we measure and evaluate impact across both the Chagos and the Game On projects. We also explored the interconnections between this two potential projects.
-For the final part of the afternoon we turned our focus to the MPA/coastal communities project, with an update from Sandy who led the session. We discussed and engaged with the whole group around this project and how to plan 1/2day workshop and next steps.

-There was a broader question asked by Sophie on what the participants thought about the successful recipe that brought this group together to be impactful and below are some of the reflections from the group:
 “The long term commitment by the Calouste-Gulbenkian Foundation, allowed us to build trust, by giving us the time to get to know each other and come together as equals. It is like two pandas meeting in a zoo.”

 “The open space allowed us to explore what we wanted to know and what we wanted to do, so  and we were not pushed for results.”
