Participatory Methods by Dr. Paula Siitonen on 25.01.2010

The lecture or forum was centered on ways of creating sustainable improvements and cooperation in complex environments. Through the participatory methods, we were able to create a shared understanding of our task and the actors involved. As a result, we identified the stakeholders and their respective roles in achieving our objective(s). In addition, we had the chance to learn from the other teams through the “exhibition walk”. Lastly, but not the least, we understood how constructive dialogue can be used to gather information and then choose the best through a focused discussion.
