Field Workshops
|
We hold a field workshop twice a year in a local community where a key member of the project conducts research. The participants in each workshop share the challenges of the local community and the approach taken by the relevant actors, and reflect the knowledge and insights obtained from the workshop in the designing and operation of the Local Science Network for Environment and Sustainability. We also hold a general meeting of the group leaders with the participation of the leaders of some project members in order to discuss issues related to the project management.

The participants in the workshop exchanged ideas and approaches with each other about what local stakeholders expected from scientists, their frustration at what scientists were doing, and how scientists could contribute to local communities. We reviewed some community-based efforts for environmental and landscape conservation, examined the knowledge used by the relevant stakeholders, and explored how a scientific community as an outside actor could contribute to them.
