CO-CREATE is a European cooperation project that will create and distribute a brand new curriculum on co-design: a set of valuable design skills that has gained increased relevance in recent years and can no longer be ignored. The curriculum will allow education institutions across Europe to provide their students with all the hands-on knowledge they will need to apply this process to their future professional practice.

CO-CREATE has been made possible with the aid of European funding, made available through the Erasmus+ framework.
It is an initiative of six partners committed to supporting the creative industries sector across Europe: Creative Region (Austria), University of Art and Design (Austria), Academy of Fine Arts and Design (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia), Deusto University (Spain), Creative Industry Kosice (Slovakia) and the European Creative Business Network (The Netherlands).
The Erasmus+ funding for CO-CREATE runs from 2016 to 2018. The partners hope to continue Co-Creation Training beyond 2018 and welcome new partners to do so.

OUTCOMES OF THE PROJECT CO-CREATE
The Tangible Music Lab and most importantly Enrique Tomás has contributed to the CO-CREATE Erasmus+ Project with Creative Region Linz & Upper Austria and several European partners. The result is a professional curriculum for implementing training activities on co-design. This curriculum, a handbook and other great co-design training materials are now available for download.
