EMERGENCE IN PRACTICE
CO-DESIGN OF EMERGENT POSSIBILITIES
TOGETHERHOOD BRISTOL collectively explores the practice of co-design and its role in creating emergent futures. With a focus on creating spaces that provokes and develops practice, we aim to contribute towards and strengthen the participatory ecosystem in the city.
Stewarding work that nurtures new approaches, relationships and understanding, this community will centre co-design practice and emergent strategy to create the meaningful, inclusive and equitable systemic shifts we need.

COLLECTIVE EXPLORATION
The foundation of this project is to better understand how we foster, with both intention and accountability, a more emergent approach to co-design, including how we commune, connect, capture and evaluate change initiatives at a community level.
CO-DESIGN IN EMERGENCE AS A DISCIPLINE
Developing the skills, practices and models in how emergence can be held and nurtured through effective co-design activity; applying emergent strategic principles to developing holistic and equitable co-design action.
CAPTURING VALUE AND RELATIONSHIPS
Co-produce a variety of frameworks for multi-agent partnerships that support the capture of impact, value and effects of co-designing across communities through applying emergent principles.
COLLECTIVE TRUST-BUILDING AND DECISION-MAKING
Intentionally build processes and practices that are visible, invites co-operation, and has a Commons Approach at its heart, with the aim to demonstrate the possibilities of a collective and collaborative future.
