Listening may sound simple, but it’s one of the most powerful practices for creating meaningful change. Too often, decisions are made without the input of those directly affected. The result? Policies and programs that miss the mark.

At The Lived Experience Lab, we are committed to building a culture of listening. This means giving people the platform to speak, valuing their insights, and acting on their contributions. Listening is not passive — it’s an active step toward equity, respect, and innovation.

When we listen, we learn. And when we learn, we grow together. That’s the heart of our work: to ensure that lived experience guides the way toward a more inclusive future
