Details

Wealdstone Brook Workshops is a method for integrated management of local water problems in urban catchments. Named after the first application the method utilises participatory techniques to stimulate collaborative action to initiate positive change. Wealdstone Brook Workshops are applicable in situations when weakly developed governance with unclear responsibilities obstructs the needed catchment improvements. When deficiencies in integration, collaboration, and leadership hamper effective project delivery participatory mapping of problems and co-design of solutions through Wealdstone Brooks Workshops can unlock potential for local action and bring new energy to the governance process.

Wealdstone Brook Workshops comprises a set of sequential actions that propel local stakeholders and communities through a process completing with concrete solutions and distribution of responsibility for taking them forward. The core of the Wealdstone Brook Workshops are two, carefully planned, facilitated workshops held a month apart.
