The second event of the Venice Resilience Laboratory, VRL, will welcome citizens and representatives from the Venetian community of stakeholders in social-ecological science and practice for adaptation and sustainability.

We will discuss, borrow and blend knowledge for unlocking Venice´ potential as unique leader of Living with Water Spirit, for global visibility over the next three years 2016-2018, creating together specific goals and guidelines.

In an enjoyable atmosphere, reflected by the warmth and culture of its host ANCE Venezia, the day will offer a mix of keynotes, discussions and activities but more than that offer a unique arena for interdisciplinary dialogue and action. The day is organized into two complementary activities addressing all senses. In an approach of action-oriented learning and living with nature, we will get to know each other, find out about our capacities to contribute to the Re-Animation of Venice´ Spirit. Then we will open the gateways for the individual and the collective to unlock the transformation and adaptation power of the learning gift of nature in Venice and abroad: the social-ecological services.

After this session, we will take a walk seeing Venice with re-animated clear eyes from San Angelo over Accademia to Zattere to embark into the Motonave Osvaldo, the multi-sensor melting pot of the VRL. On our self-catered lunch trip to the Northern Lagoon and to the sea of Lido, we will enjoy the atmosphere of the lagoon, the passionate story, and friendship of fisherman, archeologist, artisan, scientist and engineer along with the self-made food and drinks we share with good company.

REGISTRATION TO THE EVENT IS OBLIGATORY, PLEASE BRING YOUR REGISTRATION NUMBER.
