In a final meeting with the group of participants of the Coastal Fisheries Initiative - Challenge Fund (CFI-CF) Ecuador, the collective work carried out throughout the process of co-creating the vision and prototypes of the Galapagos seafood system over the past 10 months with different stakeholders from the islands of the archipelago was recalled.

During the event, the learnings and experiences that the group of participants gained throughout the journey of co-creation of the vision and prototypes were documented, which was developed through the “Theory U”, which allows working from the collective capabilities of the groups.

In this final stage of Theory U, the participants documented the experiences and analyzed the degree of evolution of the Social Innovation Container of the Seafood System (CIISAM), which is the name of the group of people with a common intention and based on it have co-created the vision and prototypes of the Galapagos seafood system.

In this meeting, the participants used art to externalize their thoughts and ideas and get to feel what is really emerging in the group in this process of social transformation. Through a deep reflection exercise, they proposed:

1. actions to strengthen CIISAM as the social group that the Galapagos seafood system needs to sustain itself; and
2. fresh ideas to strengthen existing prototypes and/or create new ones to continue nurturing the Galapagos food system.
