==Executive Summary==
==Executive Summary==
The Troodos Co-Laboratory was part of 10 [[Structured Dialogic Design]] (SDDP: Structured Dialogic Design Process) Co_laboratories, which took place between December 2009 and February 2010 all over Cyprus and were implemented by [[Future Worlds Center]]. <br>


The Troodos co-Laboratory was the last of the 10 and took place at the [[Forest Park]] (Platres, Troodos) between 16-17 February, 2010. Twenty four representatives of regional local authorities participated in the dialogue. Participants included both elected officials and employees of near-by local authorities.<br>
This paper reports the results of the first of a series of co-laboratories organized by Cypriot peace pioneers 30 months after the negative outcome of the referendum concerning UN General Secretary’s plan for reunification of the island. The purpose of this colaboratory was to support a diverse group of disengaged and disappointed peace pioneers and activists representing Turkish and Greek communities of Cyprus develop a shared understanding of factors contributing to the perceived widening of the gap between the two divided communities in Cyprus. The co-laboratory was organized using the structured dialogic design process (SDDP) approach within the context of a rich web-based communication
The [[Knowledge Management Team]] included Mr. [[Savvas Savva]], President of the Local Authorities Union of Limassol and Mr. [[Marios Michaelides]], Vice-President of the [[Cyprus Academy of Public Administration]], in addition to [[SDD Facilitator |SDD Facilitators]] [[Aleco Christakis]], [[Yiannis Laouris]] and [[Georgina Siitta Achilleos]].<br><br>
environment. The root causes contributing to the widening of the gap are discussed and are also compared with those identified during a similar co-laboratory employing the Interactive Management methodology 12 years earlier.
<u>The same [[Triggering Question]] (TQ) was used for most SDDPs:</u>
* '''What influences the efficient operation of local authorities?'''


In response to the TQ, the 24 participants came up with 66 obstacles, which were categorized in 10 clusters. Following the voting process, 37 ideas received one or more votes, but only 23 ideas, that received 2 or more votes, were structured to create the influence MAP shown below. <br>
