Co-Creating Wellbeing project

DISCOVER THE POTENTIAL OF CO-CREATION IN WELLBEING SETTINGS.

Co-Creating Wellbeing is an Erasmus+ project to develop the skills to apply and evaluate co-creation in real-world practice for people working in health, education, welfare, sport, youth and social services.

Our mission

To develop and pilot test a flexible hybrid course that teaches what co-creation is and how it can be applied in wellbeing settings.
To develop an evaluation model and toolkit to support the assessment of co-creation processes and outputs.

What is co-creation?

Co-creation is an important method to encourage inclusivity of a range of stakeholders right from the beginning of the process, therefore increasing the likelihood of creating meaningful services or products. It is underpinned by participatory action research and design thinking processes, which are driven by creating change, and therefore demonstrable impact.

Six principles of co-creation

Co-creation is innovative and aims to create new prosperity in a local context.
Co-creation creates new qualities through combinations of different resources and skills.
Co-creation is a dialogue-based process, where the different actors define the challenge and the solution together.
Co-creation propagates initiative and the right for all to participate.
Co-creation creates an understanding of interdependence.
Co-creation requires openness and willingness to take risks.
