Living Lab the Neighbourhood
COLLABORATIVE NEIGHBOURHOOD PRACTICES
The Neighbourhood aims at creating a co-production and innovation environment for collaborative services and social innovation anchored in a geographic environment in Malmö that today seldom is associated with social and economic growth. The lab is searching for innovation resources and building up a network of stakeholders and potential innovators in Rosengård and Fosie, two of Malmö’s multi-cultural districts, and connecting them to business and university partners.

Living Lab the Stage
COLLABORATIVE CULTURAL PRODUCTION
This lab focuses on new ways to produce, promote, distribute and finance cultural productions as well as on ways to engage audiences in participating in professional creative processes. A particular emphasis is put on questions related to how place and time-specific media can enhance both events and more persistent media objects such as books, music albums, art works etc.
