A social innovation lab is an approach to experimentation and prototyping that tackles complex challenges for the common good. It combines reflection and action to generate responses to global problems in neighborhoods, public institutions, companies and society in general.
Why are they necessary?
Laboratories represent a response to the challenges experienced in a social environment in which the following can be perceived:
Uncertainty
A Need to Strengthen Democracy
A Multi-Plane Connection
Multiple Forms of Intelligence
Commitment to the local and the global
Citizens' Ethics
Transverse Values
The labs involve the practice of a diversity of values as you work to solve the different challenges that arise.
