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!!!

Co-CreationLab - Summer School in Brazil

On 29. November we are going to Rio in Brazil to particpate in the summer school organised by the global network Pioneers of Change (www.pioneersofchange.net). The event bears the name Global Journey, and it invites practitioners from different countries to explore together. The focus this time would be on:
- sharing personal stories and journeys
- sharing collective journeys
- exploroing the possibilities and tools for sustainable initiatives/projects/work


Recently, we have become involved with the members of PoC in Copenhagen in organising an alternative climate event in 2009 when the Climate Change Summit is to take place in Denmark. Co-CreationLab is therefore bringing the ideas and questions from this forum to Brazil, in order to explore with others further possibilities and options and in order to gather knowledge, advice and contribution from other pioneers.

(We will be updating upon this subject. )
