“The Church of Fail”: Learning from Our Mistakes in Co-Creation (part I)

Abstract Our workshop commences with a short presentation about what co-creation is, and the power that lies in learning from failures. Then, the facilitator will open the sharing session with the aim to set a safe space by presenting some ground rules for engagement. Then, the participants will be invited to step forward and share their story of failure. Each participant is invited to introduce themselves, and answer three simple questions: What did you fail at? How did you cope with it? What would you do differently? When the participant finishes their story, the facilitator will thank them and the audience will applaud them for sharing. This part of the workshop will go as long as there are people who want to share (with limitations).
