Yesterday afternoon I arrived a very nice place in the Pyrenees. Josep Jordana, has invited us to spend this weekend at Spot, a small village of two hundred seventy habitants at the foot of Aigüestortes National Park and Sant Maurici, aiming to reach us to discuss the possibility of creating a model CitiLab for mountain, the Pirene Lab.
A meeting where we met a few friends. Ramon Roca from Guifinet and Paco Fernández from ABLA, a small village of 1,500 inhabitants in Almeria has a Living lab that connecting the people. Not They have building or work place. But agreed to find the time for discusion and process innovation that allows the benefit of social welfare, taking a practice so interesting as a "coffee of ideas". Every day host a discussion, where people can go and explain their ideas, learn from each other and to exchange knowledge and experiences on the daily life of the village.
The Estage was the beginning of the Pirene Lab project, a point for the discussion moved to other platforms in a network. The seed is planted in the mountain and began to take root with the help of CitiLab, within a very complex ecosystem that want to be sustainable.
