Citizen laboratories. An introduction to Medialab Prado

Citizen laboratories are a form of public institution in which people gather to create together. They are places for meeting, collaborating and experimenting in which anyone can take part, and which open up the possibility of improving living conditions in a collective way. 

This book is intended as an approach to this idea through the experience of Medialab Prado. It includes texts about projects and working groups, accounts of personal experiences and a guide to mediation, an essential practice to facilitate meeting, experimentation and cooperation.

Through these approximations, we would like to demonstrate the potential of citizens' laboratories and why we need this new type of institution.
