Schools as Living Labs Methodology
Within the Schools As Living Labs (SALL) project, the consortium, together with schools and other societal actors, is adapting the Living Lab approach for the school context. This methodology, the ‘SALL methodology’, is the result of a co-construction process: At first, it started through the review of documentation and other Living Lab experiences, followed by a workshop in January 2021 with the whole SALL consortium. The original version of the methodology that was built during the workshop was then nourished and amended by the experience and feedback of National Coordinators, teachers and other actors. A series of weekly ‘case clinics’ sessions allowed the National Coordinators to share their experience and provide detailed and continuous feedback. In June 2021, a second workshop allowed to identify missing blocks and guidelines, and to write them in a collaborative manner. For full details on this development process, see deliverable D2.2 ‘Co-creation workshops on applying living lab methodology to open schooling: methodology and results’.
This deliverable will present the final methodology, which is an adaptation of the Living Lab approach to the school context. The aim here is to run Living Lab projects at schools, involving students and other local actors in a user-driven innovation process. This approach has the potential to take open Schooling to a new level by increasing the involvement of local actors and the influence of students on the local environment, in collaborative work on innovative solutions. Last, the thematic focus chosen as the starting point for SALL is rooted in one interdisciplinary theme, the Food System, which has been integrated with the methodology.
Finally, this deliverable will offer all partners more details about the benefits of this methodology. It may thus support them in identifying the knowledge, skills and behaviour that the school students will develop through their Living Lab school projects, and so enrich evaluation in SALL. -

Tips voor het betrekken van stakeholders bij Schools as Living Labs projecten
Within the Schools As Living Lab-project (SALL), the SALL consortium, together with schools and other societal actors, is investigating the possibilities of introducing and implementing the concept of the Living Lab method in the school context. This SALL methodology will be the result of a co construction process that started at the consortium Workshop in January 2021 and will be nourished by the experience and feedback of National coordinators, teachers and other actors that agree to participate in this collective experiment. So the SALL methodology is a work in progress, the first bases are described in the Pitch document for National Coordinators (NCs). Based on the experiences of the pilot schools in the next months, the methodology will be further developed in a second Workshop, planned for June 2021.
One of the characteristics of Living Labs is that multiple stakeholders work together on a common real issue. Stakeholder engagement is an important topic in the Living Lab method, therefore it will be addressed extensively in the SALL methodology. The current document, the Stakeholder Engagement Methodology (SEM), already makes a start on this. It is a roadmap that offers suggestions for schools and NCs how to identify stakeholders, how to approach stakeholders, and how to create a sustainable connection with stakeholders. It also raises questions that schools and NCs can address when embarking on stakeholder engagement.Auteur: NEMO Science Museum

Schools as Living Labs - A road map for schools
In this short “roadmap” you will find some practical instruments and guidelines to engage in, and develop, a Living Lab Project. You can use, transform, and adapt them for your own context.
Remember the 3 characteristics that really define a Living Lab school project:
1. Real issue, real solution, making use of the participants’ personal experience
2. Co-creation, involving all impacted societal actors
3. Quick prototyping, with ideas immediately put in practice and tested.Auteur: SALL consortium partners
