Living labs are robust structures created with the aim to contribute to addressing societal problems by establishing long-term collaborations among various stakeholders. They often involve the use of co-creative and participatory methods and are anchored in a local context. Instead of inviting stakeholders into a stationary living lab and a predefined situation, which is often the case with living labs, with our workshop we aim to develop an alternative approach that will enrich the current living lab methodology. We will do so by exploring the idea of “Tiny pop-up living labs” (TPuLL). Tiny pop-up living labs draw on augmenting physical space with the goal of creating a temporary learning environment which serves as a participation enabler and contributes to community building around the given problem. In our workshop, we will use a tiny mobile house and the spaces chosen by the participants to envision, reflect and concretely develop different learning resources.
