Families_Share – Next Lab conference

On the 22nd of March 2018, the Next Lab Conference was organised by Groen in Mechelen, Belgium.
Next lab, is a place where 20 innovative ideas go Next level. A conference where the audience is invited to participate in actions created by the innovators to show them how they see the worlds Next level. The focus is on social and environmental impact — the perfect place for Families_Share app to explain how we see Next level childcare.
Families_Share Belgian partners, De Stuyverij, had an interactive space where parents could actively see how much time they spend on work and how much on family. They were invited into a discussion on what would be a solution for them to find a better work/life balance. Together with the other innovators, we created the walk of life, on that walk, you were confronted with day to day problems and the solutions the innovators had thought of.
The next lab event creates a platform where innovators can take their idea, organisation, project next level. What would the world look like in 20 years and how are we participating in it. Families_ Share created “the walk of life” to let the participants experience the struggles faced in specific periods in life and show the options that are being created. In dialogue, needs can be discussed, and the feedback received from the participants can be used in further growth.
