The Social Innovation Lab is a place for community changemakers to get new thinking, tools, and connections to advance their work. The upcoming Lab will focus on vulnerability as a resource for social innovation. Prior to the event, they're searching for stories of people leading with vulnerability to build sustainable and inclusive communities. If you've got examples, send them along, and if you want some examples, register for the event and join in on the conversation and the great work!

Social Innovation Lab

The Social Innovation Lab is a place for community change makers to get new thinking and connections to advance their work. The lab has three goals:

1. Learn new tools and ways of seeing things that can help advance social innovation.
2. Advance innovative projects that are working to enable sustainable and inclusive communities in Minnesota by applying new learning to featured projects, as well as to your own work.
3. Connect with other change makers, from many fields and perspectives, to share insights and build collaborative relationships.

We invite you to join us on the morning of December 4, for the third Social Innovation Lab. All perspectives are needed–from businesses, neighborhoods, the arts, families, spiritual communities, nonprofits, tech, entrepreneurs, policy, and more. We are seeking a combination of long-time social innovators and those who are curious and new to the idea.

The Social Innovation Lab is an InCommons event. InCommons is a community-based initiative that connects Minnesotans – face-to-face and online – so they can find and share credible tools, knowledge and resources to solve problems.
