Rehab-Lab. The spatialities of care in the context of innovation

Abstract

The Rehab-Lab experiment, conducted at the Kerpape center, quickly became a shared approach within a multi-category community of professionals. Based on the Grenoble experience, this article questions the Rehab-Lab device as a creative community space for learning and training that experiments with applied care in the field of occupational therapy. The proposed entry questions the spatialities of this relational approach to care, between the reticular metric of community and the territorial metric of local anchorage.

Keywords: care, continuing education, ergotherapist, professional identity, Rehab-lab, third-places.
