Overview:
The Social Labs site is a portal of resources for people interested in launching physical spaces that address complex challenges in the world. The social labs community brings together a broad spectrum of labs practitioners, funders, consultants and grassroots change agents from around the world.
A lot of people ask us about toolkits and methodologies used in Social Labs. We often reply that methodologies don’t make a Lab – much like frying or baking doesn’t necessarily make a great meal.
However if you’re looking for tactics or approaches you can add to your toolbelt when you’re working on Social Labs, then this page is our starting place for you.

Spud’s Thoughts:
I love the toolkit section on this website!! You can spend a good bit of time scanning through the resources they have listed here. Much of my work that launched me into this space started by simply renting a cheap storage space I found on craigslist and turning it into a barebones social lab. At the time, I didn’t know that’s what they were called – but I’m pretty confident that had this website existed, it would have saved me a lot of headache :)
