Call for Workshops at OpenLivingLab Days 2023
“Living Labs for an era of transitions: How human-centric innovation is changing our lives”
At OLLD, workshops are dynamic and interactive. Led by expert instructors, our hands-on activities foster creativity and problem-solving skills. Plus, you’ll collaborate with other participants to create something unique. Join us at our next workshop for a fun and valuable learning experience!
OpenLivingLab Days is hosted in Barcelona, September 21-23, 2023, featuring two full conference days with topic sessions and workshops, followed by site visits to local living labs on Saturday.
Key characteristics. We are looking for workshops that are:
- Interactive and practical rather than one-directional or theoretical
- Facilitating the active and equal engagement of all participants
- Support knowledge exchange – also between participants
- Provide real value for participants and equip them with solutions that they can apply in their living labs as well
- Produce tangible outcomes to ‘take home’ from the session
- Goal-oriented: presenting clear goals to be achieved during the session
- Dynamic and FUN
