The rules for how humanity governs space are being written right now, mostly by a handful of powerful governments and companies. But the future in space doesn't need only scientists and engineers. It also needs people who understand justice, community, ecology, and care, and it needs voices from communities that have rarely had a seat at that table.The NUR Lab put that premise to the test. Students from a wide range of disciplines in Bolivia were asked to design governance systems for the Moon, drawing on their own fields, cultural references, and lived experience.

Students from Universidad NUR and partner institutions across Bolivia. Fields represented: engineering, medicine, law, international relations, tourism, psychology, sociology, and more. Students included those from Indigenous backgrounds with deep understanding of events that have shaped Bolivia's relationship to contested commons.Hosted by Universidad NUR, one of Bolivia's leading private universities, founded on the Baha'i faith and a commitment to interdisciplinary learning. Participants also included students from other institutions in Santa Cruz.

Over three days, working in groups, participants designed four distinct governance models.
