The program focuses on exploring the concept of participation and inclusion as the basis for today's debate on fulfilling the museum's social role, overthrowing existing authorities and changing the relationship between cultural institutions and the public. For the investigation of the thematic above in Greek society, the Laboratory collaborates with the MOMUS Metropolitan Organization of Museums of Fine Arts of Thessaloniki, contributing to the planning of experimental activities and their systematic evaluation. In a first phase, the project focused on the theme "Cultural institutions and the refugee issue", recording and evaluating the reactions of cultural organizations and especially museums to the refugee issue with exhibitions, local community awareness programs, educational activities and interventions.

In the second phase, the project focused on the "participatory shift" in arts, curation and education. In this context, experimental educational activities were carried out within the framework of the Biennale of Contemporary Art, in 2017 in Thessaloniki and an exhibition co-curation project “Together We Curate: We are preparing the next exhibition "at the Experimental Arts Center (Momus) in 2020, which was systematically evaluated.
