From today, The Future is Rural
LAB Genalguacil

The International Rural Innovation Laboratory, also known as "LAB", is a collaborative open model
dedicated to the transformation and development of rural areas and fostering new practices of innovation

WHAT IS LAB GENALGUACIL?

Why are we here?

Lab Genalguacil is an open model that enables rural areas to develop and implement their own tools for innovation - generating local solutions as active communities and challenging stereotypes about what being rural really means. At the core of our innovation approach is the value of local knowledge and an understanding of the complex relationships between the needs of people and nature - and the overall well-being of rural areas.

    The attempt to visually and acoustically capture rural innovation in one take embraces a paradox: How to visualise what actually eludes the image?

Our Partners

We believe in the power of collaboration, and our journey toward new practices of innovation would not be possible without the support and expertise of our partners. Together, we are forging new paths, encouraging creative confidence, building networks of trust, fostering new approaches, and driving positive change in rural development. At the heart of our collective efforts is an understanding of lives beyond binaries and embracing the complex relationships of everyday lives. Our work together is founded in trust, generosity, and the uncertainty of making something new
