Sharing.Lab is a non-profit organisation based in Copenhagen. We research and experiment with how sharing can empower urban communities. We curate, produce and share knowledge on how to apply the sharing of social objects on both a theoretical and practical level. We have an open structure and share our knowledge with interested parties with the aim of creating a ‘knowledge toolbox’ that can be applied in the creation of local niche communities.We believe that by sharing our ressources, we can strengthen the cohesive force, reduce strain on the environment and increase happiness in urban contexts. We are dedicated explorers of how the sharing of small objects can create communities. We research the mechanisms that make us share, and incentives for becoming part of a community. By rediscovering the qualities of the Danish cooperative movement, we believe Danes can become pioneers for sharing. We aim to bring these ideas up-to-date, carried by technology and mobile devices, and thereby establish a modern Danish co-operative movement in urban contexts. We accumulate information on the sharing economy in collaboration with VIA University College, and we are supported by the Ministry of Housing, Urban and Rural Affairs.
