THE SHORT STORY

coCreationcamp is an innovation design-lead narrative inquiry platform gathering multi-stakeholders points of view to co-explore possibles, scenarios and futures: narrative and design are the two streams helping to grasp co-creation, change, transformation, innovation.

THE HISTORY

The first series, initiated and launched in November 2011 in Brussels, allowed to explore and experiment coCreation modes and methods. coCreationcamp sessions took place in different cities, venues, festivals, universities, design schools … allowing to explore topics to be co-designed: Helsinki, Copenhagen, Torino, Lille and then Wallonia and Brussels, followed by Bengaluru, Kolkata, Kochi, as well as Roma Sapienza, Oman, Doha, … – inquiring co-possibilities in Food Systems, Ecodesign, autoproduction, transformative organisation, education and learning design as well as expanding the diversity of approaches of co-creation. The core dynamics are experiential and driven by narrative enquiries. Conversations, interactions, argumentations, traces are full of nuances and part of the experiential, the moment, hence difficult to document.

The coCreationcamp series is back in action in 2022, with sessions in Oman, Brussels, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Kochi, Roma and the voyage continues. In 2026-27, coCreationcamp is to be experienced in Mumbai, Brussels and Antwerp, and something is cooking in the air for Paris in 2027 …

For perspective, the coCreationcamp initiative was selected for an exhibition at the Triennale in Milano, in 2012, organised by Belgium is Design. “Perspectives, Triennale – 2012“, curated by Giovanna Massoni. About prototypes, products, services, projects and systems, Perspectives provided intriguing, thoughtful and playful perspectives from which to consider the influence and impact of design.

“Today we no longer have the right to pretend that we command a unique position from which we can view the truth about the world. We must learn not to judge different areas of knowledge, culture, or art, but to combine them and to establish new ways of coexistence with those who enable us to meet the unique demands of our time.”
