Open school communities as living labs co-creating solutions in their local social contexts

This is a SALL workshop in the context of the Τhe EDEN Open Classroom Conference 2021 “Real change takes place in deep crisis”, which will take place on 22-24 October 2021 online as well as in Pallini, Athens, Greece. The conference is co-organised by the European Distance and E-Learning Network, the EDEN Digital Learning Europe, the Institute of Educational Policy, and Ellinogermaniki Agogi in the framework of the Reflecting for Change project.

The workshop is bringing together educators and other stakeholders to discuss, and co-design uses of, the ‘Schools as Living Labs’ (SALL) Methodology within schools. The vision is to help schools offer topical experiential learning opportunities and develop close synergies with their local communities, through living lab school projects that allow students, teachers, parents and social actors to co-create solutions addressing problems in the local context. While this approach can be implemented in any thematic area, the workshop will focus on living lab school projects linked to the theme of the food system.
