## 3 Data and Methods
### Development of the Training Workshops Curriculum and the Program for the Panel Discussions
These include the Environmental pillar, focusing on the applications of CLMS, C3S, CEMS, and CAMS for monitoring land, climate, and emergency management. The Production pillar focused on applications of C3S, CLMS, and CEMS for agricultural analytics and assessing the impacts of climate change. The Strategic Sectors pillar concentrated on CLMS and Sentinel data processing for managing mining activities, including monitoring illegal mining practices. The Security pillar focused on Sentinel data processing for monitoring illegal activities. Each pillar was designed to explore the diverse applications and impacts of CS within these fundamental sectors. These sessions began with a presentation, where the first section provided an overview of the Copernicus program, including its architecture, the Sentinel constellation, and the Copernicus services. A second section delved into the pillars, presenting information, statistics, maps, and literature that described these pillars in the Bolivian context and how they connect to Copernicus's services for decision-making. After this presentation, the stakeholders' roundtable began. This activity consisted of short presentations by participants, where they exposed their challenges in exercising their

This dialogue lasted around 4 h and facilitated diverse participation in an interactive format, promoting the exchange of information, problem-solving, networking, and building relationships. At the end of the session, the survey of needs and experience was adapted for the Bolivian stakeholders and shared for completion. Since in both events the participants were professionals with different backgrounds, experiences, and institutions, common strategies were applied to ensure effective communication and collaboration. A key strategy was to tailor materials for both advanced and beginner audiences, allocating time to explore tools that did not require advanced knowledge of geoinformatics but instead emphasized ready-to-use information (e.g., WEKEO, CS GUI portals) and the operation of cloud-based applications with immediate results (e.g., GloFAS, GDO, GEE). For advanced sessions requiring programming and GIS experience, routines with documented examples and controlled environments were shared to enable participants to focus on results, modify the exercises as needed, or simply follow their execution. Similarly, to address the diverse backgrounds of participants, flexibility was allowed for them to join sessions of interest. Each session was designed to be independent, allowing new participants to follow the content without prior knowledge. However, the CEMS session in Ecuador, which lasted two days, required participants to attend both days to fully understand the possibilities offered by Copernicus for risk management. Finally, discussions guided by facilitators ensured that participants had the opportunity to exchange their experiences and knowledge, helping to bridge gaps between institutions and areas of specialization. This was especially important in Bolivia, where the time allocated for panels was limited, and the audience was highly diverse.
