On 21 January 2026, the third Living Lab of the Medjerda demo site was held in Tunis, bringing together researchers, experts and local stakeholders involved in water and ecosystem governance within the OurMED project.
This workshop marked a key step in the participatory process, with a strong focus on the sharing and validation of solution scenarios co-developed with stakeholders to address the main challenges identified in the Medjerda watershed. Building on the outcomes of previous Living Lab sessions, participants collectively reviewed the proposed scenarios and discussed their relevance, feasibility and potential impacts.
The programme included a presentation of the workshop methodology, followed by scientific inputs on the impacts of climate change on water resources, notably through hydrological modelling of the Siliana and Bouhertma sub-basins. The core of the workshop consisted of interactive group work sessions, allowing stakeholders to actively contribute to the validation of the proposed solutions and to exchange perspectives across disciplines and sectors.
The day concluded with a collective restitution, open discussion and evaluation of the workshop, highlighting the importance of co-design, dialogue and local knowledge in developing robust and context-specific responses to water and ecosystem challenges in the Medjerda basin.
