The document summarizes a kick-off workshop for the GLUES-WOCAT project held from 27-29 January 2015. It discusses WOCAT methods and tools for documenting sustainable land management (SLM) technologies and approaches. Books, videos and their use for knowledge sharing are presented. Standardized documentation of SLM experiences has helped increase global awareness of successful SLM practices and allowed for analysis of impacts. Instructional videos are an effective way to spread knowledge of documented SLM practices and have been used in workshops and educational contexts.

- 42. Instructional Video Guiding themes & interview questions 1. Implementation of SLM practice Demonstration of steps for implementation Description of costs for implementation and maintenance and local adaptations 2. Functionality of SLM practice Demonstration of functioning of SLM technology Description of development of SLM approach 3. Degradation addressed Demonstration of land and water degradation 4. Local and regional impacts of SLM practice Demonstration of local (on-site) and regional (off-site) impacts 5. Transformation achieved Demonstration of difference with/without technology or approach 6. Adaptation to climate variability and change benefits for climate resilience or disaster risk reduction Benefits of the SLM practices to create climate resilience and prevent disasters All video products are based on land user sharing and demonstrating their experiences on: 1_intro: contextualization and problem statement 1_1 Introduction protagonist and degradation problems - What is your name? - What are the specific challenges and difficulties you personally face in terms of land and water degradation? 1_2 Context - Where are we? - What is the natural environment here? - What are the main problems in terms of land and water degradation you face in the village and in the region? - What are the causes? 2_ demonstration and main explanations: implementation and functionality of SLM practice 2_1 SLM practice adoption - How do you call the SLM practice you adopted here? - Why did you adopt it? - From where did you get the idea? - Did you get any training on how to implement it? Did anybody help you? - What is the objective of the SLM practice? 2_2 Steps for implementation - What are the single steps that you undertake to implement the SLM practice? - Once the technology is fully established, how does it function? Costs - What are the total costs of implementation? - What are the costs for the material and those for labour? - Where are savings possible (e.g. by using cheaper material)? - Who paid for it? Pitfalls, challenges and adaptations - What are some of the potential pitfalls and challenges? - What are your suggestions to avoid or address them? - What are possible adaptations in other areas/contexts? 2_3 Climate resilience - Does the SLM practice help you to deal with variable rainfall, water stress, hotter or colder years and pest infestations? - If yes, what are the benefits of the SLM practice for your land and livelihood during these events? Disasters - How does the SLM practice function during unexpected weather events (prolonged dry periods/droughts /heavy storms)? - What are the benefits of the SLM practice for your land and livelihood during these events? 3_conclusion and closure: benefits and future 3_1 Transformation achieved - What is the difference between a plot, where the practice was applied and one, where it wasnt? - Has the production on your land where you applied the practice increased or decreased? By how much? - What are the costs caused by land degradation? And what are the benefits of the SLM practice? 3_2 Local impacts - Which is the impact on the land where the SLM practice is located? - What are the main benefits on your land? How has the vegetation, the soil or the water quality and availability changed? - What are the benefits for your family and your familys life? Regional impacts - Which is the impact of the SLM practice on your neighbours, neighbouring fields and villages? - Which are the benefits for them if you apply the practice? Future - What are the benefits of the introduction of the practice for the future?
