Working Group Meeting Hamburg 2024
Workshop Summary WG on Education-Science-Policy Interfacing & Sediment Management Concepts (ESPI-SMC)
Four new sediment stories (Sandy’s Adventures) for toddlers and children in primary school were brainstormed and created during the workshop of the WG ESPI-SMC. In the coming months, the text of the stories will be finalized, and illustrations will be created. The stories will be translated into at least English, German, Dutch, and Portuguese. We are looking for native speakers of other languages to translate them into their own language! Please let the SedNet Secretariat know if you would like to help with this.
We will develop a (serious) “Sediment Game” aimed at high school and university students as well as adults. It will be a cooperative team game with the goal of solving different sediment challenges in a fictional river basin. In the coming months, we will further develop this game. If you would like to help with formulating sediment cases (defining the problem/challenge, outlining possible solutions, etc.), or if you would like to volunteer to “try out” the game once it is developed, please let us know!
We plan to create a website with various sediment education and communication materials. If you have such materials, even if they are only in your own native language, please send them to us or provide us with a link where we can find them. This way, we can share good examples with everyone on our website!
