Wiki Jeglinska, Sara Lovecka, Marco Marques and Gervaise Savvias joined the IATL department in July 2021 in the roles of Co-creation Officers. See their photos and introductions below. Naomi de la Tour created this role in 2019 to bring students to support the work of the department with generosity, passion and care. So far, the new cohort of Co-creation Officers has developed its co-creation philosophies, created resources for the IATL Sharing Practice Space and developed IATL's social media pages. To collaborate with the new Co-creation Officers email iatl.cocreation@warwick.ac.uk. 

Our previous Co-creation Officers Lily Rose Fitzmaurice, Pula Prakash and Lanaire Aderemi will soon be leaving this role. They have supported student projects, collaborated with WIHEA on creating resources on co-creation, created IATL social media pages and a new Sharing Practice space among other community work. The IATL department is truly grateful. Lily's, Pula's and Lanaire's thoughts on co-creation (taken from interviews conducted over the summer by Wiki and Sara) are included below.
