 Book The Co-creation Space

Please remember: Making a booking request does not guarantee a booking until you have confirmation from us. It may take up to two working days for us to respond.

Co-creation means different things to different people.

Some definitions are that co-creation is:

…when staff and students work collaboratively with one another to create components of curricula and/or pedagogical approaches. — Bovill, C., A. Cook-Sather, P. Felten, L. Millard, and N. Moore-Cherry. 2016. ‘Addressing Potential Challenges in Co-Creating Learning and Teaching: Overcoming Resistance, Navigating Institutional Norms and Ensuring Inclusivity in Student–Staff Partnerships’. Higher Education 71(2):195–208.

…collaborative, reciprocal… through which all participants have the opportunity to contribute equally, although not necessarily in the same ways, to curricular or pedagogical conceptualization, decision making, implementation, investigation, or analysis. — Cook-Sather, A., Bovill, C., & Felten, P. 2014. Engaging students as partners in learning and teaching: A guide for faculty. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.

You can learn more about co-creation on the IATL website, including funding opportunities.

We welcome bookings from students and staff. While co-creation activities will typically involve both staff and students, it is not a requirement that bookings involve both.

The purpose of The Co-creation Space is to facilitate the formal and informal co-creation activities of staff and students. We may reject booking requests for other uses or which have capacity or other practical issues.

Examples of use we envision include:

  • Scheduled teaching sessions that have a co-creation element
  • Staff/student meetings, such as SSLCs
  • Groupwork activities with a co-creation goal

Room capacity is maximum of 60, with 40 for groupwork at tables.

Ventilation

You are encouraged to keep windows open for airflow, where it is possible, safe and secure — even in cold weather.

Planning your event

If you are running a formal event in the spaces:

  • Please note your Covid-19 mitigations in your risk assessment — you can use the University’s overarching risk assessment. You do not need to share these with the Library, but please get in touch with us if you have any questions — teachinggrid at warwick dot ac dot uk
  • You should also think about the type of activity you’re organising, as lively activities will have more significant risks and need more consideration than events requiring attendees to remain seated
  • Warwick Food and Drink will deliver to events through the usual booking process

Availability

Space availability

Please note: The space will be unavailable until the end of Term 2 2024.
Bookings are not possible in Term 3 as the space is converted to quiet group study space. However you can still make bookings in advance during Term 3 for Summer vacation, for example.

How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.
