  • What is co-creation, and how can it be used to begin transforming our neighbourhoods into more vibrant, livable spaces for all people who live, move, shop, attend schools and relax in them?

    This interactive, self-paced course is aimed at practitioners in city administrations who want to initiate and coordinate a co-creative process in one of their neighbourhoods. No prior knowledge is required. It is available 24/7 for 4 weeks (2 September to 30 September 2019). Each week a new unit will become available.

    Participants who successfully complete all course tasks will receive a Certificate of Completion.

    We hope you enjoy the course, and look forward to hearing from you in the discussion forum!
