In the following days,  the the participants were engaged in a [[Co-Laboratory]] using the [[Structured Dialogic Design Process]] (SDDP) methodology.


The SDDP approach involved the organization of 3 [[Co-Laboratory|Co-Laboratories]] (also referred to as Co-Labs). The design followed the retroductive and design development framework approach illustrated by the following figure presented at the launch of the project by [[Aleco Christakis]].

The underlying theory is that one should describe and analyze the existing situation and extrapolate it to the future (base scenario), to identify the possible obstacles (called Wall of Obstacles) for reaching an ideal situation and develop a shared vision achieving that (called a vision tree). The efforts then converge on a collaboratively developed ‘Action Agenda’ capable of tearing down the ‘Wall of Obstacles’ and nourishing the Tree of Vision. It focuses on the distinctions among the ‘ought to be,’ ‘can be,’ and ‘will be;’, as described in the following diagram:
