This challenge opened up different unknown, unforeseen and new perspectives for all participants. It broadened, deepened, enriched and connected topics related to the Waddenzee and to the participants study or specific interest.

Students designed, in multidisciplinary and multi-institutions groups, the workshops. The teachers remained in the background. Participants experienced the Waddenzee: what you see is NOT what you get, there is so much more that you do not see (yet) and do not know about (yet). Therefore, the ‘unexpected’ was an important drive for the workshops, the events and in fact the whole experience.
