Co-Creation Lab

Co-CreationLab is an organisation and a platform for the development of visionary youth leadership around the globe, founded by Indira Hasimbegovic and Rita Christina Biza in 2006. It is based on the idea that social change and tranformation in social, political, environmental, disciplinary or economic fields depends on the ability of the world today to recognise young people as resourceful, innovative and responsible creators of tomorrow´s world. It equaly depends on our responsibility and ability to create educational spaces that nurture, celebrate, promote and encourage the innovative youth spirit.

TRANSFORMATIVE POTENTIAL OF YOUTH

It is central that we focus on developing, nurturing and enouraging the visionary spirit of the youth in the world.

It begins with n education based on the principles of responsibility, co-operation, tolerance, diversity, holsitic understanding of the world and sustainbaility.

In order to nurture the potential of the visions that the young people carry, we must help them to develop their ability to:

- take seriously their dreams and visions

- identify and navigate by their own unique values

- understand their life in relation to the whole

- recognise their pioneering potential

- think proactively, responsibly and visionary

- exercise responsibility for the whole in their actions

- work in co-operative and co-creative spirit

- carry the vision to concrete manifestation

- practice the change they wish to see manifest

- BELIEVE IN THE POSSIBILITIES!!!

Project: Dreamers Inc. - In Tanzania again:Second Phase began!!!




We arrived in Tanzania two days ago, and began the second phase of the project. This weekend and the next, two intesive workshops will take place. The focus is mainly on identifying the visions of the young people in the group, which would then provide a foundation for a focused strategic proactive future planning. In this phase, we shall be devloping a tool-box suitable for the group, enabling them to clearly identify their goals, intermediate objectives, their mission, values and possible obstacles to work through. The idea is to enable them to achieve clarity about their current situation and to take concrete, strategic steps towards planning of their future reality. The days between the workshops will be dedicated to focused individual coaching of the members, as well as exapnding of their local network.


This time, we are accompanied by our asssociate Gurpreet Brar from the UK, who is working for a foundation that supplies meals for school children in India. Co-Creation Lab is co-operating with Gurpreet on planning a project in India for next year, where we would again work with a selected group of young people. Our vision, as always, is to co-create projects that focus on and help develop the visionary and creative spirit among youth in the world.

Please follow the blog for the upcoming updates. Greetings from Co-CreationLab in Tanzania!
