The 3rd workshops were run as World Café events to facilitate small-group dialogue between the research team and each group of participants. There were 5 cafés in each workshop:
Café 1: Disaster risk areas (with findings from WP1+2)
Café 2: Coastal vulnerability map (with findings from WP4)
Café 3: Readiness and resilience of the community (with findings from WP3)
Café 4: Governance and vulnerability management (with findings from WP5)
Café 5: Safe and strong community in dreams
In each café, findings and information from the research project were communicated to the participants followed by Q&A, opinion-sharing and discussing dialogue within the group. Each participant was rotated to attend all 5 cafés during the workshop.
