Äerdschëff asblMOBILAB · investigate before decidingTwo instruments · one shared approach
MOBILAB Greater Region observes real situations. Horizon Lab 2040 opens systemic tensions to discussion through fiction. Moving between the two helps question a decision, never predict the future.
Connection
Both products share a vocabulary of evidence, conditions, responsibilities and revision.
Needs, uses, constraints, comparators, maintenance capabilities and responsibilities documented in real field sites.
Fictional political trade-offs, delayed effects, coalitions and dependencies that allow several trajectories to be examined.
A game outcome is neither an official recommendation, field evidence nor an announcement of a future decision.
A question raised by the game can become a hypothesis to document in Mobilab, with the people concerned and the competent authorities.
A distinction to make
The educational strand plans for pupils to design a board game based on their investigations, then facilitate sessions with their peers. This deliverable in preparation is separate from the already accessible Horizon Lab 2040 digital simulation. Its rules, prototypes and production still need to be validated.
