Co-designing the future of Texel-Zuid

Abstract

This report is the documentation of the expert co-design workshop on possible futures for South Texel. This workshop is part of a larger research project: “Co-designing coasts using natural Channel-shoal dynamics” (CoCoChannel). The workshop of 9 March is part of a series of co-design workshops. The goal of this series of workshops was to start a dialogue and design solutions with people from different backgrounds and different types of knowledge, regarding the case study of Texel South. In the first workshop, that took place on 2 December, the specific knowledge of the people with personal ties to the island of Texel was used in a collaborative setting to envision distant futures for the island, thus eliciting the values and preferences of these participants. In the second workshop, as documented here, we aim to use the insights from Texel to configure a multi-dimensional space for experts to design feasible and integrated solutions.
