In early December, the Genk oPEN Living Lab hosted a session to reflect on the renovation work in the Waterschei neighborhood.
Led by Waldo Galle and Sarah Martens from VITO, the session focused on key challenges: managing citizen expectations, optimising the renovation process, and navigating real-life complexities of inhabited dwellings.
Participants used hands-on methods, breaking down issues into core components and using 3D shapes to visualize relationships. This reflective approach aimed to improve processes and align community goals, ultimately advancing Waterschei’s goal of becoming a Positive Energy Neighbourhood.
The session highlighted learning opportunities for better impact and collaboration.
