The workshop “Refreshing H2O Policy– An EU workshop: what for?” focused on refreshing the roles of social and economic thinking, methods, and tools to support EU Blue policy transition delivering sustainability, resilience and security.

H2OPeople organized EJWP Bootcamp in parallel with this event. It is a special mini EJWP 3-day programme developed for this workshop as social-learning community. The overall goal through the activities is supporting young professionals to find their path and impact in the water sector. The agenda included networking exercises, active brainstorming about the role and contributions to the workshop, and the three days were closed with a workshop “From Culture Shocks to Inspiration for Change” to help participants find common ground in planning for future scenarios and challenges which will require innovative ways of thinking across borders.

SMARTEN was present in this bootcamp through the Augmented Collaboration Toolkit. The collaborative skills development tools were significantly used in the event. Additionally, the digital tools were used to connect the ideas and report them.
