About the Show

Collaboratory is a podcast that explores co-creativity in action. In each episode we focus on stories and dynamics of co-creative practice we think need talking about, with guests whose practice range from art and culture, education, community and organisational development, public and for purpose sectors and much more. Hosted by Dr Maya Haviland and Nicole Deen, Collaboratory draws on research and real world experience to deepen and sustain our understanding of collaboration and co-creativity across cultures, communities and organisations. It is produced by the Scaffolding Cultural CoCreativity Project, hosted at the Australian National University on Ngunnawal, Ngambri and Ngunawal country.
