AB Social media labs, as spaces for experimentation, have recently become one of the mainmechanisms for innovation. The role of universities, with degrees focused on subjects linked to socialinnovation, can be a fundamental factor in social development. It is essential to transform traditionalcentres into spaces for dialogue, into creative ecosystems, simultaneously dedicated to reflection anddebate, research and production, training, and socialisation. Within this framework, we carried outethnographic research on the implementation of a social media laboratory developed with socialeducation students during the last two academic years at the faculty of education in Palencia. Theresults provide evidence of the development by university students in some skills related to creativity,reflection, and debate, as well as various digital skills. In line with the existing literature, we showhow the social media laboratory enables the acquisition of knowledge situated in the social reality ofthe environment that is of great use to future social educators, as well as some of its limitations inthese processes of experimentation and social innovation.
