==Executive Summary==
==Executive Summary==
This report has been developed in the context of the [[MedBEESinessHubs]] project. It is the result of two Structured Democratic Dialogues (SDDs) in Cyprus between March and June 2022. The aim of the activities was to train representatives from the participating countries on how to apply SDDs to address local challenges in their respective rural communities.
This SDD was implemented in the context of the [[MedBEESinessHubs]] project. The results presented here are from a virtual Structured Democratic Dialogues (SDDs) that was organized and managed from Cyprus between March and June 2022. The aim was to he participants from the five countries for a full-scale week-long training in SDD facilitation that took place in June 2022. The representatives from the participating countries were prepared on how to apply SDDs to address local challenges in their respective rural communities.


The first part of the SDD training took place between May and June 2022. It was organized as a sequence of 5 weekly Zoom meetings. The Triggering Question was: “In the context of your work, what are obstacles that prevent efficient stakeholders’ dialogues?” The participants produced 35 ideas, which were clustered in 6 categories. After voting for their top 5, 17 ideas received votes (indicating Spreathink = 40%), and 7 were structured. The following ideas made it to the root of the tree: #3: (9 Votes) Lack/absence of a clear common goal for the group to work on; #2: (7 Votes) Moderator/facilitator; #5: (4 Votes) Inconsistency and incompatibility between group members (age, educational level and experience, etc.): #20: (4 Votes) Conflict of interest; #13: (3 Votes) Not knowing the contents of the topics well; #35: (3 Votes) Some members might not have the appropriate knowledge and the skills for stakeholders’ dialogue; and #1: (1 Votes) Logistical arrangements. The striking finding is that the group identified #2: Moderator/facilitator, as the most influential factor.
