Dear Builder,
We'd love to collaborate. We've been collecting amazing humans who want to change the world and make it more resilient. If you have an idea, a campaign or a project you want to stress test or improve, we can fill a room with interesting people to support you.
That's an Action Lab: you bring the project, 10 to 30 of us spend a night working on it with you.
Five conditions to collaborate together
Come with a claim about how change happens: if this changes, that changes. It doesn't have to be right yet. It has to be clear enough for other people to work on.
A campaign, a tool, a co-op, a hypothesis you're testing. Action Labs are about implementing something real and tangible in the real world, and the night should change what you do next week.
Not a talk with a Q&A. Give people the context, then give them the work: breakout groups, drafts, prototypes, a report-back at the end.
Enough people to bring skills you don't have, few enough that everyone works. Past 30 the night turns into an audience.
Come to a salon or a lab before you host one. Our rooms have a culture, and it's easier to build a good night once you've felt it.
If that sounds like you, write to us below. Tell us what you're building and where it's stuck. Half-formed is fine.
The world doesn't need your perfect idea. It needs you in a room, building alongside people who give a damn.
See you at the lab.
