How would we eat food, move, work, and take care of each other?. Last book on the subject: Collaborative Services, Social innovations and design for sustainability

Through a series of coCreationcamp(s), we explore the design of knowledge exchange to expand innovation opportunities. Different forms and formats are shaped: join the conversation and let's intersect and expand knowledge scapes. We are working at Helsinki coCreationcamp in May 2012, Paris D-Days June 2012, Copenhagen June 2012, Torino Nov. 2012 and coCreationcamp Creative Wallonia.

After Helsinki coCreationcamp on 22-23 May 2012, Madrid on May 28th, Paris on June 1st, and Copenhagen coCreationcamp on June 18-19th 2012, we were in London end June (co-creation & food design) and in Torino on Nov. 9 (about autoproduction, in connection with Operae). The 2012 series is ending with coCreationcamp Creative Wallonia.

coCreationcamp was in Milano, selected for the exhibition at the Triennale: "Perspectives, Belgium is Design", April 17-22, 2012, sharing some aspects of the coCreationcamp design project. This exhibition presence takes also place in "Belgian on Tour", as part of Reciprocity, Liège Design Biennal.
Belgium is Design, in Milano at the Triennale, has selected coCreationcamp for the exhibition during the Milano Design Week, 17-22 April 2012

Perspectives

We claim that co-creation praxis is at the intersection zone of innovation, design and storytelling.
