Watershed Workshop

After more than 20,000 km along ten rivers, we kept encountering two questions: The drinkable river appeals to me, but what can I contribute to it? How can this advance my work instead of adding more work? Who else is taking part?

You’re already working on a healthy river or a climate-resilient, robust, biodiverse living environment. But how can you make an even greater difference? How do we create the acceleration needed to reach certain Water Framework Directive (WFD) goals? How do we give even more concrete input to ‘water and soil as guiding principles’ policy? And how do you connect with the people in your watershed who want to achieve the same thing?

The Workshop is designed to answer exactly these questions. and to show how working on the drinkable river can advance your work instead of adding on to it.

The online Watershed Workshop includes four learning modules:

Set-up of the Watershed Workshop

The Watershed Workshop can be given online, spread across four meetings, or in person, spread across two days.

At the start, you bring in a topic that you develop throughout the workshop (ideally with 1 or 2 colleagues), something from your own work where behavioural change can make the difference toward a healthy, resilient, biodiverse living environment and towards a drinkable river.

Each session consists of two parts:

Inspiration from the watershed: From the experience of Drinkable Rivers or a participant who shares an example, approach or insight from their own work.

Working together on behavioural change: You work on your own topic and discover how to bring about behaviour change in yourself and in others who are relevant within your field of work. Together you work toward a concrete action plan to take up jointly or integrate into your own work.
