About the animation

This short animation explains co-production in a fun and clear way. It's been developed by the SCN team, building on how we talk about co-production and explain it to others.

Explaining co-production isn't always easy, but using clear language to help people understand it is a big part of getting co-production right.

We know that co-pro can mean different things to different people, but we wanted to offer our view on what it is, what it involves and what it can achieve as we try to foster a shared understanding across the diversity of interests across the Network and beyond.

No definition is perfect, but we hope it will act as a helpful starting point to spark discussion, ideas and debate on what co-production means to you and the people you work with.

Use the animation in your work

We’d love for people to use the animation in their own work - whether for sharing with colleagues or using in your presentations.

You can download the animation below - we ask for some details so we can understand how many people are using it, and what for.
