cocreating
Making something jointly
Cocreating is collaboratively making something with others rather than working alone.
The term emphasizes shared creative input and joint ownership of the result: We're cocreating a curriculum with community members.
Common in business, education, and design contexts where partnership and participation are valued over top-down production.
