skills and templates for story building, harvest, and broadcast
 
The Labs are an environment in which to create and explore new social narratives around the common good and our collective potential for meaningful creativity. Work, play, and learning all contribute to intended outcomes of positive impact in communities and the world. In order to demonstrate and extend that impact, we look to various modes of capture and distribution.
 
Aims
  1. Inspire, inform, invite by communicating value and advancing positive outcomes
  2. Harvest representative impressions efficiently, plan comprehensive documents
  3. Connect with authentic passion and purpose - design for effective engagement
  4. Compose rich messaging - disseminate for resonance, propagation, and feedback
  5. Share with peers for story dev - build confidence, competence, capital, community
