What we reward, and why
At the end, the room votes for the table that presented best (QR 3), judged on four criteria: a clear one-sentence outcome; covers both safety and the environment; practical, something a college could really use; clearly presented in the time given. The criteria are announced at the start. One vote per phone, no voting for your own table; the facilitators break ties. The winning table receives a gift, and every table receives a small thank-you gift. Awards recognise the workshop exercise only; every table's proposals and objections remain part of the record. Gifts are handed over at the end, or immediately outside if the room must clear on time.
Certificates
Please download your certificate during the session. If you cannot, the certificate page stays open until midnight Brussels time on Friday 23 October, then closes.
Three kinds of certificate are issued at the workshop. They recognise taking part and sharing, and none of them is a scored award.
For every participant. Type your name on this hub and download your own PDF, created on your device.
Each team chooses one Voice of the Team, announced up front so nobody feels shy. They speak for the group and download this certificate on their own phone from the certificate page (same session code, name, table and email). A printed or handwritten copy is an optional extra.
An optional thank-you for tables that submit their work digitally. Paper contributions count equally.

What the room votes on
1. A clear one-sentence outcome
Says plainly who should act, what they should do, where, and what would show it works.
2. Covers both safety and the environment
The proposal protects people and the planet in the same task, not one at the expense of the other.
3. Practical
Something a college could really use in its own programmes.
4. Clearly presented in the time given
The pitch is short and plain: the task, the proposed change, one unresolved objection.
Advice for every table (not a vote criterion): follow the steps in order and be ready on time for the challenge and the pitch. It makes your presentation stronger.
A thank-you for every table
Every table receives a small thank-you gift for taking part. Nobody leaves empty-handed.
Digital by choice: tables may submit their answers on paper or by QR. Paper and digital count exactly the same for every award. Tables that choose to submit digitally also receive a small extra thank-you, which is not a score and does not affect any award.
How the awards are decided
- The room votes. At the end, everyone votes on their phone (QR 3) for the table that presented best, judged on: a clear one-sentence outcome; covers both safety and the environment; practical, something a college could really use; clearly presented in the time given. One vote per phone, not for your own table. The table with the most votes receives the prize.
- Ties: the facilitators break ties. If the QR 3 vote fails, each person raises a hand once for the table that presented best (not their own); the facilitators count and break ties.
- Results stay hidden until the facilitators close the vote.
- Awards recognise the workshop exercise only. Every table’s proposals and objections stay in the shared record, whatever the awards.
- QR 1 and QR 2 are anonymous totals and are never used for awards. QR 3 is the room's vote for the table that presented best: one anonymous vote per phone, only totals shown. AI does not score, judge or rank; the room votes and the facilitators break ties. Your own table is not stored with your vote.
- Submitting digitally is optional and never adds to an award; paper cards are equally welcome.
- Gifts are handed over at the end of the session, or just outside the room if the room must be cleared on time.
Why this way
The workshop works only if every table brings its real experience and honest objections. Rewarding discipline, clarity and useful challenge encourages exactly that, and it keeps the session about learning from each other.
