UNED and Fundación Entretantos team held a new Living Lab session
The UNED – Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia and Fundación entretantos team recently held a new ASSETS Project Living Lab session, bringing together participants to reflect on what truly gives networks their value in rural areas.
Building on the discussions from May’s Escuelaboratorio, the session, guided by Marta Solórzano García from UNED, delved into the often unseen elements that make networks transformative — trust, collective energy, and a sense of belonging that extends beyond measurable indicators.
A key part of the exchange focused on evaluation as a collective practice rather than a purely technical task. Participants discussed how evaluating together can strengthen autonomy, make shared values visible, and even serve as a catalyst for political and social change.
To conclude, the group co-created a mural, capturing reflections on how facilitation styles can empower networks to reach their goals and grow more resilient.
This Living Lab once again demonstrated that the #ASSETSProject Living Labs are dynamic spaces where ideas evolve into strategies for meaningful change.
