The Team

(return to The School of Co-creation)

Founder Members

The founder members will act as its steering committee and guide the implementation of the project. They are a cross-disciplinary collective of artists, designers, educators and activists from different generations and backgrounds who believe that co-creative and team-centred learning will deliver shareable benefits and unforeseen opportunities. We aim to make communities more independent and self-aware.
