EX-PED-LAB Workshops and the Courage to Co-create
摘要
This chapter explores how EX-PED-LAB workshops can give participants the courage to co-create. The courage to co-create has been a topic that is increasingly relevant in various fields such as organisational theory, innovation and leadership, team psychology, arts and design and social sciences, especially in the professions. It aims to help early childhood educators, policymakers and researchers understand how courage in co-creation can catalyse pedagogical innovations and enhance early childhood experiences and holistic child development in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). The prefix of “co” refers to collaborative practices and processes involving participants sharing knowledge and therefore has roots in different theoretical concepts of collective knowledge. It also situates the EX-PED-LAB project in a relational epistemology with a history inspired by pragmatism, critical theory and cultural-historical theory, drawing from organisational learning theory and design and creativity research. With excerpts from EX-PED-LAB workshops, we discuss the concept of courage to co-create in line with embracing the polyphony, a new role in the unknown, and the conditions for co-creation and transformative learning.
