'''RRI Roadmap Milestone 3'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content" style="text-align:justify">
* Moderate the workshop with an experienced facilitator to avoid "Groupthink" and the "Erroneous Priorities Effect";
* The SDD dialogue is a rigorous and efficient participatory methodology, but also time-consuming, leaving no time for the interpretation of the presented ideas in terms of their RRI dimensions by the participants during the workshop;
* Bring people and particularly the young on location where they can have transformative experiences that they will seek to relieve throughout their lives;
* Engage young potential "citizen scientists" in schools to promote the issue at hand;
* Increase awareness in the youngest about the (local) marine issues to create a new generation of people that are aware of the problems and want to engage themselves, to take action also through a political career.
