Key findings

"This method takes a complex societal problem (like radicalisation), connects people who are affected by this problem in various ways (i.e. adults, children, religious leaders, community leaders, policy makers, etc.), and does so in a safe experimental learning space. Within social labs, participants co-create pilot actions (i.e. a dialogue, exhibition, tour, or game) which they then try out within their relevant contexts. The discussion and diagnosis phase of Social lab allows for identification of current practices and existing policies and diagnosing the key challenges through open discussion focus groups and/or workshops.It is an ongoing, iterative process; address systemic root causes; brings together end-users and practitioners. However, Participants might drop out or not be collaborative during the social lab. "
