Dear all
I took a stab at drafting a minimal bullet-point list for a mission statement for the DATAGOV “Living Lab”.
Essentially, there are 3 goals:
1_ gather qualitative data through participatory methods
2_develop and experiment with new participatory methods (play-based, innovative…)
3_contribute to awareness raising on the DATAGOV agenda
(4_bonus: enable conversations between people and decision-makers)

My draf, very messy and unstructured, has been compiled as next to me people are deciding where to go skiing tomorrow—which means I cannot even complain if I don’t like the place (next time I go with Mattéo) ;-) So, it is quick and dirty, as they say, but it is a start.

If you want to know more about what I mean re: “on equal footing” and legitimizing people’s experiential knowledge, check out this<https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC139026> (my chapter) and this<https://www.sustainabilityperformances.eu/ethical-data-governance-for-a-just-transition/> (none of them particularly relevant to DATAGOV, so you can also ignore!). I got more sources if you want to read more 😉

TAKE IT APART! and thank you for your good vibes and precious inputs.

~st. (who comes to CH to ski and it is 15C and today skated on 3cm of water… But there is a stunning blue sky!)
