The Bootcamp is designed for Mission Soil Living Lab actors working with soil-related data, knowledge and stakeholder engagement, particularly for Living Lab managers and coordinators, stakeholder and panel managers, researchers and soil experts, and communication and engagement specialist.
What will you learn
The SOILL Bootcamp follows the Living Lab approach in a collaborative setting. Participants work with experts and with other Living Lab participants to learn about different topics and share experiences with each other. Through a structured learning experience, in which all participants engage in interactive workshop sessions, they will explore how to:
- Apply harmonised soil monitoring in practice, including using practical tools and methodologies, and explore the added value of harmonised soil monitoring.
- Translate soil monitoring results into stakeholder-relevant messages, engagement and action for different stakeholder groups.
- Use LL and soil monitoring evidence to demonstrate impact, translate it to specifically for policymakers, and identify ways to connect local results with wider policy objectives.
