Jessie Marcham, campaign co-ordinator, from Derbyshire County Council, was exactly the kind of 3rd party stakeholder that the research (via the workshop) was keen to reach out to . An overall purpose of the research was to amplify awareness about the featured examples. Like a handful of participants present Jessie was not that familiar with the examples featured: so the workshop was playing a part in spreading awareness of what can be achieved. A purpose specific to the workshop itself was to create a collective learning environment in which new conversations and links might be created between participants. Again, like other participants, Jessie did not know many (if any) of the other attendees at the workshop.
