10. WATER MANAGEMENT

11. Water management provides the background scenario
Gives us the context where we are going to work

We are going to work on water issues but: How?
…That is a different question

13. TRANSITION MANAGEMENT

14. Transition management perspective provides the approach for the whole course
Gives us the way how we are expected to face the problems set out in the course, around water
based on the idea of co-evolutionary socio-technical systems

15. Multiple levels can be recognized in these systems:
niches (experiments), regime (market/society), landscape (broader context)
Changes in niches can drive evolution in the whole system affecting regime and landscape in the long run
Technology is not enough for the system to change

16. Processes of change comprehend technological, social, organizational actions involving multiple actors.
Lead those tansitions, tackle sustainability problems with this approach requires new knowledge and skills
Then transition will have been sparked

17. GREEN SKILLS

18. Finally we get to the very heart of the course , the so called Green Skills
The goal of the course is to gain and put in place those skills to boost transition in systems (experiment-market-society-landscape)
We are talking about creative thinking, visioning, dealing with stakeholder, networking, presuasion, problem solving…
