The Dynamics of Collaboration: The Co-Creation Cycle - CDNET Training Workshop

Are you working on projects that require effective collaboration across diverse groups?

Join Dr. Maya Haviland, Founder of Cobeo and Research Lead from the Scaffolding Cultural Co-Creativity Project at ANU, for a practical 3-hour workshop exploring the Cobeo Co-Creation Cycle.

In this hands-on session, you will:

• Explore the distinct stages of effective collaboration processes

• Identify your personal strengths and challenges as a collaborative practitioner

• Apply research-backed frameworks to navigate collaborative dynamics

• Develop strategies for implementing these approaches in your specific context

The Cobeo approach provides structured tools designed for inclusive co-creation, particularly valuable when working across different perspectives and addressing complex challenges that can’t be solved alone.

Who should attend:

• Community development practitioners

• Project managers and team leaders

• Those currently engaged in collaborative initiatives

• Anyone looking to enhance their collaborative capabilities

What you'll gain:

• Practical frameworks for planning and navigating collaborative processes

• Enhanced self-awareness as a collaboration practitioner

What previous participants say:

"Such an important way of working and being and understanding and sharing, in the community sector and in government."

"It provides you the language and insights with which to approach collaboration, and the ability to reflect and identify tricky situations."

"A great introduction to both the theory and practice of collaboration—applicable in all collaborative situations."
