The document discusses three workshop approaches - Participatory Pattern Workshops - for capturing and sharing knowledge gained from experiences in a structured way. The Case Stories Workshop encourages collaborative reflection on successful practices. The Design Patterns Workshop identifies common themes across stories and captures them in a standardized format. The Future Scenarios Workshop validates design patterns by applying them to novel problems.
