Introduction

👋Hello and welcome 👋

Fab Lab Barcelona at IAAC is dedicated to design, research and innovation for citizen-driven, productive cities. We use a range of digital fabrication, tech and communication tools to up-skill people with the powers to design and make impact in their own city. This guide has been compiled by Big Font (the communications and outreach team at Fab Lab Barcelona.) It is based on our experiences working in design, dissemination, communication and outreach for education, research and innovation projects.

You may be here as a collaborator, student or interested by-stander. You are welcome to give feedback, suggestions and add your own knowledge. This is intended as a basic, helpful guide for projects that engage communities, stakeholders and audiences in projects for purpose. It is under constant development.
