Co-create a space for collective reflection to gain a deeper understanding on the importance of

our work ethos on our research theoretical-methodological approaches and potential to achieve

social-ecological transformations.

A monthly co-learning webinar with shared transdisciplinary learnings across key concepts/skills/methodologies/approaches/frameworks concerning the Trans Path Planning project has been initiated. Each country node makes a presentation on various topics. Young researchers/ PhDs in the projects have been encouraged to use the webinar space for learning and sharing their views and ideas. This learning webinar series gives learning space to young researchers who can receive skill-building and process-oriented feedback with their presentations. So far, we have had seven webinars by different partners on different topics.

This is a process document of the Living Lab organised by the BRB node in Majuli, Assam, India."Living Lab" for Majuli is conceived as a safe space where local communities and government representatives can come together to openly discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with these transformative developments in Majuli. This initiative envisions paving the way for a collaborative and inclusive approach to shaping development initiatives on the island. The event was the first step towards co-producing policy-relevant knowledge for sustainable livelihoods in Majuli.

Co-create a space for collective reflection to gain a deeper understanding on the importance of

our work ethos on our research theoretical-methodological approaches and potential to achieve

social-ecological transformations

In this workshop, we aim to collectively reflect on the profound implications of our work ethos on theoretical-methodological approaches and their potential to drive social-ecological transformations. By creating a space for shared exploration, we aspire to deepen our understanding and foster collaborative growth.

• Sharing and Reflection: Facilitate the sharing of key updates from each node's case, encouraging participants to undertake collective reflection. The focus is on identifying and articulating positionality, political stance, and research design for collaborative projects.

• Methodological Exchange: Promote an open dialogue on methodological challenges, facilitating learning and reflection on the intricate relationships between methods and transdisciplinary research principles. Emphasis will be placed on exploring transformative future methods to enhance group capacities.

• Embodied Learning through Field Trip: Organize a field trip to urban wetlands, providing participants with opportunities to engage with each other and the environment in a more embodied, experiential manner. This immersive experience aims to deepen the connection between theoretical concepts and real-world applications.

During the Inception phase team was working on the feedback and building the project. The meeting was successful as it helped to further set up the team and plan the project activities in more depth. It was a hybrid-mode meeting held in IHE Delft in May 2022.
