Erasmus+ KA2 “LeCoLe – Learners as Co-creators of Their Own Learning” No. 2020-1-LV01-KA201-077454.
Co-creation appeared in the discussion about education just a few years ago and placed itself amongst the most interesting pedagogical concepts. It refers to growth, imagination, collaboration, to students and teachers alike, and the concept develops with every good example from practice.
Supported by the Erasmus+ Programme a group of educators took on a quest of searching for good examples of co-creation and outstanding co-creators in schools in Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, and Portugal. We bring the findings to you in podcast series under the heading “Learners as Co-creators of Their Own Learning”, available on several platforms.
Complementary material to the podcast series will give our listeners some opportunities to explore more in the field of co-creation and enhance their professional development. The material includes recommendations on how to plan student participation in creative learning processes and how to work with cultural events; descriptions of useful web-tools and websites; recommendations for cocreation in classrooms backed by research; writings on interesting case studies about co-creation on different school levels; and a short article about co-creation as the teenager in the family of creative pedagogies.
