# CICO Labs
This methodology is strikingly similar to that developed for Collective Intelligence Labs - know as Cico Labs for short.
The workshop format we developed for Creatathons is another format that is relevant here.
# Legislative Theatre The Legislative theatre workshops we developed in the early 2000's based on the work of Augusto Boal is especially relevant to this practice. If the means permit, it would be especially valuable to involve a preformative lement to these workshops that we can use to inform the script writing.
