PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Mobile Living Lab provides hands on experiences in Education for Sustainable Development for
children and youth in rural communities. Participants begin by conducting in-the-field empirical
observations of their local environment, after which they return to the Living Lab and, dressed as
scientists, they engage in age-appropriate experiments and problem-solving activities designed to
provide them with awareness, knowledge, skills and values designed to instill a love of, and a lifelong
commitment to sustainable development in their communities and beyond.
Strategies: Empirical observation where the immediate environment becomes the ‘living lab’ where
children assess their environment, explore the sustainability sciences and propose possible solutions to
problems the have discovered by observing their surroundings.
Regional Challenges: Water scarcity, degraded soils, poorly equipped schools and poorly-trained
teachers within areas relating to sustainable development, lack of awareness about sustainable
development and what individuals and communities can do to improve their localities on the path
toward inclusive development for all.
Aims: Utilize each locality as a ‘living lab’ where participants discover the strengths, the challenges and
the potential of their own community for improving livelihoods, wellbeing and the wholeness of the
local environment.
Project Activities:
Children & Youth: Empirical observation of their locality, as well as hands-on experiences as scientists
and problem solvers who gain awareness, knowledge, skills and agency to strive for the transformation of
their communities for the good of the people and the natural environment.
Adults: The Mobile Living Lab attends to development-related programs on request from community
leaders, i.e. water shortage, lack of gainful livelihood opportunities, degraded soils, community gardens,
cooperatives, etc.
We first listen to community members and, upon their request, we journey with them as they advance
toward the resolution of concerns they have expressed. This often means that we develop a short course
or a workshop designed to help enable the community on the path to resolving their concerns and
advancing toward sustainable development.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
° Work with communities toward sustainable development in areas
of concern to them
° Facilitate human development within the areas of Education for
Sustainable Development, Sustainable Agriculture, Small Business
Operations, Environmental Restoration & Sustainable Usage,
Sustainable Economic Development.
° Provide hands on experiences for children where their community
becomes the ‘living lab’ in which they discover strengths, challenges
and the potential for advancing toward sustainable development.
° Children discover their own agency in the process of change for
themselves, their families and their community.
° Give children the experience of working as ‘lab scientsts’ who
study topics related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, i.e.
water, soils, flora, fauna, sustainable food production, waste
management, recycling, and renewable energy, among others.
° Instill in children the awareness, knowledge, skills, attitudes and
values designed to lead them toward a lifetime commitment to
sustainable development, environmental wholeness and human
wellbeing.

PROJECT PROPOSAL & STRATEGIES
The Mobile Living Lab project provides two major options for engaging children, adults and
communities in Education for Sustainable Development.
1) The Mobile Lab is driven to communities where we work on development-related issues which
are of concern to the community members themselves, i.e. sustainable agriculture, small business
development, water capture, renewable energy, soil restoration, etc.
- While on site, we offer hands on experiences where the children observe their own community in
order to discover its strengths, its potential and areas which can be developed on the path toward
sustainability.
- After doing ‘empirical observation’ of their surroundings, children become actual scientists in
our Mobile Living Lab, where they study flora, fauna, soils, water and renewable energy in an
authentic environmental science lab.
2) Development-related courses and trainings are offered at our Sustainable Development
Demonstration Site and Learning Centre in Santa Isabel, Chihuahua in topical areas that are of
concern to the community members.
- Children observe and interact with the surroundings at our demonstration site. They expérience
working with our crop cycle, our water capture & purification system, our renewable energy
sources, sustainable architecture, and the farm animals living on our site, among myriad other
activities.
- After interacting with the surroundings at the demonstration site, the children dawn lab coats,
goggles and gloves to become actual scientists in our Living Lab, where they study flora, fauna,
soils, water, renewable energy sources, a seed bank, a worm farm, waste management, composting
processes, etc. in our Environmental Science Lab.
CHALLENGES
° Having the funding required to carry
out this work
° People often manage to take bits and
pieces of our lab equipment, making it
difficult a) to keep everything
functioning in spite of the missing pieces
and, b) to be able to afford re-purchasing
that which we have been able to acquire
only with great sacrifice in order to offer
this experience to communities
throughout the borderlands.
° Due to the insecurity in our state, it is at
fairly high risk to ourselves that we travel
in our marked Mobile Living Lab to
remote communities where organized
crime may be in charge of the region.
° While experiencing our Demonstration
Site proves inspiring to countless
individuals, finding the funding and the
vehicles with which to transport people
to our site is a considerable challenge.
PROPOSED TIMELINE
The services of the Mobile Living Lab and of our
Demonstration Site-Learning Centre are ongoing.
Whenever we have the funding and many times, when
we do not, we carry out the activities described above.
We strive to have enough funding to conduct these life-
changing experiences throughout the México-US
borderlands presently and on into the future.
THANK YOU FOR
YOUR KIND ATTENTION!

  • 8. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Mobile Living Lab provides hands on experiences in Education for Sustainable Development for children and youth in rural communities. Participants begin by conducting in-the-field empirical observations of their local environment, after which they return to the Living Lab and, dressed as scientists, they engage in age-appropriate experiments and problem-solving activities designed to provide them with awareness, knowledge, skills and values designed to instill a love of, and a lifelong commitment to sustainable development in their communities and beyond. Strategies: Empirical observation where the immediate environment becomes the ‘living lab’ where children assess their environment, explore the sustainability sciences and propose possible solutions to problems the have discovered by observing their surroundings. Regional Challenges: Water scarcity, degraded soils, poorly equipped schools and poorly-trained teachers within areas relating to sustainable development, lack of awareness about sustainable development and what individuals and communities can do to improve their localities on the path toward inclusive development for all. Aims: Utilize each locality as a ‘living lab’ where participants discover the strengths, the challenges and the potential of their own community for improving livelihoods, wellbeing and the wholeness of the local environment. Project Activities: Children & Youth: Empirical observation of their locality, as well as hands-on experiences as scientists and problem solvers who gain awareness, knowledge, skills and agency to strive for the transformation of their communities for the good of the people and the natural environment. Adults: The Mobile Living Lab attends to development-related programs on request from community leaders, i.e. water shortage, lack of gainful livelihood opportunities, degraded soils, community gardens, cooperatives, etc. We first listen to community members and, upon their request, we journey with them as they advance toward the resolution of concerns they have expressed. This often means that we develop a short course or a workshop designed to help enable the community on the path to resolving their concerns and advancing toward sustainable development.
  • 9. PROJECT OBJECTIVES ° Work with communities toward sustainable development in areas of concern to them ° Facilitate human development within the areas of Education for Sustainable Development, Sustainable Agriculture, Small Business Operations, Environmental Restoration & Sustainable Usage, Sustainable Economic Development. ° Provide hands on experiences for children where their community becomes the ‘living lab’ in which they discover strengths, challenges and the potential for advancing toward sustainable development. ° Children discover their own agency in the process of change for themselves, their families and their community. ° Give children the experience of working as ‘lab scientsts’ who study topics related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, i.e. water, soils, flora, fauna, sustainable food production, waste management, recycling, and renewable energy, among others. ° Instill in children the awareness, knowledge, skills, attitudes and values designed to lead them toward a lifetime commitment to sustainable development, environmental wholeness and human wellbeing.

  • 11. PROJECT PROPOSAL & STRATEGIES The Mobile Living Lab project provides two major options for engaging children, adults and communities in Education for Sustainable Development. 1) The Mobile Lab is driven to communities where we work on development-related issues which are of concern to the community members themselves, i.e. sustainable agriculture, small business development, water capture, renewable energy, soil restoration, etc. - While on site, we offer hands on experiences where the children observe their own community in order to discover its strengths, its potential and areas which can be developed on the path toward sustainability. - After doing ‘empirical observation’ of their surroundings, children become actual scientists in our Mobile Living Lab, where they study flora, fauna, soils, water and renewable energy in an authentic environmental science lab. 2) Development-related courses and trainings are offered at our Sustainable Development Demonstration Site and Learning Centre in Santa Isabel, Chihuahua in topical areas that are of concern to the community members. - Children observe and interact with the surroundings at our demonstration site. They expérience working with our crop cycle, our water capture & purification system, our renewable energy sources, sustainable architecture, and the farm animals living on our site, among myriad other activities. - After interacting with the surroundings at the demonstration site, the children dawn lab coats, goggles and gloves to become actual scientists in our Living Lab, where they study flora, fauna, soils, water, renewable energy sources, a seed bank, a worm farm, waste management, composting processes, etc. in our Environmental Science Lab.
  • 12. CHALLENGES ° Having the funding required to carry out this work ° People often manage to take bits and pieces of our lab equipment, making it difficult a) to keep everything functioning in spite of the missing pieces and, b) to be able to afford re-purchasing that which we have been able to acquire only with great sacrifice in order to offer this experience to communities throughout the borderlands. ° Due to the insecurity in our state, it is at fairly high risk to ourselves that we travel in our marked Mobile Living Lab to remote communities where organized crime may be in charge of the region. ° While experiencing our Demonstration Site proves inspiring to countless individuals, finding the funding and the vehicles with which to transport people to our site is a considerable challenge.
  • 13. PROPOSED TIMELINE The services of the Mobile Living Lab and of our Demonstration Site-Learning Centre are ongoing. Whenever we have the funding and many times, when we do not, we carry out the activities described above. We strive to have enough funding to conduct these life- changing experiences throughout the México-US borderlands presently and on into the future.
