The Hungarian project team has formed a living lab called LADDER, which is a mosaic word in Hungary for Laboratory with Students for Democratic Environment. The LADDER project aims to popularize democratic schoolyard design and connect academia with school communities through a children and youth-centered community design process in which built environment educators, the school community (teachers, students, parents, etc.) and the landscape architecture profession (university teachers and students) work together to map, assess, envision and co-design the school environment.
The LED2LEAP Living Lab is Nürtingen is part of the university’s outreach activities in the field of social innovation and education for sustainable development. Our focus is on sustainable neighbourhood development. The activities are closely linked to existing community-building projects at neighbourhood level steered by the town hall’s social department. In summer 2020, our activities focussed on the neighbourhood of Klein-Tischardt which is a very centrally located quarter with a mixed population and many unused open space potentials. Engagement methods very difficult to implement because of the pandemic but the students involved invented creative interventions which were well received by the residents. The activity is currently followed up within the framework of a master thesis analysing the neighbourhoods’ potential for self-governance and community management. Currently, we are transferring the concept to another neighbourhood, Braike, of which the campus building is part of.

The LADDER Living Lab is an exploratory collaboration space that allows continuous reflection and improvements of participatory methods through a combination of research and innovation processes within a mid-term partnership between the University, the NGO kultúrAktív and various local school partners. The lab is a user-centered, open-innovation ecosystem, operating in a territorial context of Hungary and with a thematic focus on democratic school environment redevelopment. Living labs operate with an iterative Participatory Action Research methodology that systematically provides solutions for locally identified issues through a cycle of: co-creation, exploration, experimentation, prototyping, and evaluation. Due to COVID-19, most of the collaboration activities are done remotely. The participatory design process in the LADDER Living Lab is not limited to co-design but it also focuses on collaborative mapping, assessment, goal setting, testing and collective evaluation of the school yard. As in each phase we have special needs and aspects that should be underlined, identification of the characteristics and the benefits of each methodology and analysing in which phase of the participatory process it fits the best is a primary question. After introducing the online tools and methods; virtual round table sessions, questionnaires, online mapping, etc., the authors critically reflect on how the remote solutions implemented in the democratic planning process influenced the quality of civic engagement and the participation of the various actors.

==  Expected Project Impact ==  
==  Project Impacts ==  
The Living Lab not only supports school communities' efforts to collectively redefine their schoolyards, but also tries to create tools, invent methods and build up good practices that can be repeated in many other schools in the future. LADDER Living Lab also aims to create and maintain a platform where people - architects, landscape architects, teachers, educators, and others who are interested in the topic - can join and share experiences and useful relevant information. The project team expects to create a national framework for school renewals in Hungary. Therefore project dissemination and collaboration with organizational boards, governments and municipalities, is also important.
* Project Managers: We're learning a lot and gaining more confidence in the process, realizing that this is a long-term process and that we have to be patient. It's important to always keep on going.
