Special Issue 17 Editorial

In a nutshell

The Editors team for this special issue was Alex and Gersande. In order to help the small groups (teams 1, 2 and 3) connect their ideas in a joint concept as well as exchange feedback and make editorial decisions, Alex and Gersande facilitated a process with several steps. In a nutshell, we started with listening to all of the teams' ideas, summarised them and looked for the common ground. After that, we facilitated a meeting with the group representatives. Once we agreed on a joint narrative and angle, the groups had their time to re-assess their concepts and align them with the overall Special Issue's needs. The editors also worked on the texts, parts of the publication by writing, editing, copy-editing and proofing. They created the introduction for the Special Issue.
