The primary objective of this document is to provide a comprehensive and adaptable framework for setting up and operating Living Labs (LLs) focused on Climate Change (CC) and Sustainable Development (SD) education. It aims to guide LL coordinators and stakeholders in tailoring the standard LL framework to fit their respective partner countries’ specific educational, thematic, and local socio-economic contexts. Additionally, the document seeks to enhance stakeholder engagement by outlining strategies for identifying, involving, and maintaining productive relationships with various stakeholders, including educational institutions, local governments, NGOs, businesses, and community members.

Another key objective is to promote co-creation and collaboration among stakeholders. The document offers techniques and tools to facilitate effective co-creation processes, ensuring that diverse perspectives are integrated into the LL initiatives. It also emphasises the importance of establishing robust monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks. These frameworks ensure continuous learning and improvement, enabling LLs to adapt and evolve based on feedback and evaluation results.
