About Learn Do Share

Learn Do Share (LDS) is a grassroots innovation engine; a combination of events, labs and peer production. We are a community for open collaboration, design fiction and social innovation.

The three words LEARN, DO and SHARE embody our philosophy: we learn from everyone. we do by prototyping. we share what we learn.

Our events and labs are gatherings for ad-hoc groups to meet, ideate and work out concepts for a common good.

Our peer production cycles help groups stay together to co-create prototypes of their collective imaginations. The most prominent are Caine’s Arcade, My Sky Is Falling, and The BUKE.

Our books, documentaries and projects are carried forth by our participants to inspire other people to do the same.

Our Learn Do Share methodology and framework, which we like to call an OS (operating system) is being adapted by Universities, organizations and makerspaces as a tool to help tackle wicked problems by harnessing storytelling, play, designing thinking and collaboration. Over the last four years, we’ve collaborated with Jorgen van der Sloot and FreedomLab to design and prototype a social innovation lab to explore solutions for complex problems. The Learn Do Share lab runs at our events as well as having been staged for Columbia University, the UN, the City of Los Angeles, UNICEF and the Danish Government.

Screen Shot 2013-07-14 at 12.03.21 AMWe’re all keen to LEARN, right ?

We love to roll up our sleeves and DO stuff.

And who doesn’t love to SHARE?

That’s how we run diy days, as a gathering for creatives to learn, do and share. It’s a tradition now that we run a booksprint after each event, in which we gather a few volunteers to harness what we learned. After diy days Ghent we ran our 2nd booksprint. The overall topic is “purposeful storytelling.” We asked speakers, participants and artists to share their big ideas and insights with us. The result is a book with short stories, small manuals and longer reflections.

We had a fantastic team of volunteers contributing their time and love. The design is by talented Ruben Denys (www.brandberries.be) from Ghent, Belgium. Many thanks for the help go out to:
