The members of Open Lab Athens are active in spaces of “sociopolitical innovation”, which we understand as grassroot, collective initiatives emerging from the dynamic recombination of existing assets and aiming at a more socially just and equal society. We understand our design and development work as a way to relate and engage with citizens in these innovative contexts and facilitate their transformative processes, as well as develop understandings that will be of value in the design of more broadly applicable digital systems and methods that embed their practices and values.
