The co-creating welfare training course

The Co-Creating Welfare Training Course aims to enable professional practitioners within the health and social welfare sector to create, implement and evaluate co-creating processes with the citizens benefitting from the welfare services of their organization.



The Training Course is built around 4 training themes/days with “bridging home activities” to help participants apply their new competences in practical working life, together with their colleagues.

The 4 training themes are the following:

  • Creating a common understanding of co-creation.
  • Initiating the co-creation process through collaborative problem formulation.
  • Managing the co-creation process.
  • Dissemination and communication of the co-creation process and its results.


    Below, you can find guides to the main tools used in the Co-Creating Welfare training – and download the full Training Course.
