FairShares Labs

On 8th December 2016, at 8.30am, representatives from six partner organisations (VSBI, Social Enterprise Europe, ECOSynergy, Elephant, SLAP and KophHandUndFuss) walked through the door of the VSBI offices in Erfurt, Germany to begin the first transnational meeting of the FairShares Lab project.

The next meeting of transnational partners took place on 27th June 2018 in Sheffield, United Kingdom. In this period, partners worked on a methodology for creating a FairShares Lab. This brings together three elements of the FairShares Model:

• Five Values and Principles
• Six Key Questions
• Four Legal Choices

…with technologies that help professionals run a Living Lab:

• Five Learning and Development Methods
• Seven ICT Platforms

By combining the FairShares Model with Living Labs, the FairShares Labs project will provide social enterprise support professionals with new tools to incubate FairShares enterprises. Below is an overview of the methodology for creating a FairShares Lab.

By registering with a FairShares Lab, participants can create a FairShares Plan and populate a FairShares Canvass to capture their thinking. The FairShares Plan acts as a guide to creating a social enterprise (business) model and generating an appropriate legal framework using the FairShares Rules Generator.

As you develop your thinking in a FairShares Lab, you can populate your FairShares Canvass.
