This document discusses two case studies of the Patching Zone laboratory for innovation. The first case was an audio-visual training workshop where young people learned skills and ideas were exchanged. The process of collaborating was valued more than the final product. The second case used a dance workshop with the Wii where participants explored converting movement to sound to create an interactive performance. Both cases emphasized peer learning approaches and integrating new skills from the beginning.
