This workshop is about getting to know the difference between real teamwork and group work. Real and therefore time-consuming teamwork is not always necessary. However, when it comes to looking for new solutions and the future must first be invented, then real teamwork is required. For real teamwork to succeed, co-creativity is urgently needed. And there are ways to foster co-creativity in teams, e.g:

• the security of knowing we can tolerate uncertainty and contradiction-enough, 

• time to work without pressure, 

• access to our unconscious 

• accept each other’s offers and build on them, 

• the "yes, and..." principle-diversity, to throw a different light on problems, 

• an atmosphere in which team performance is acknowledged, 

• the freedom to make mistakes without being penalised.

After a short theoretical input on these topics, we will try out many exercises on co-creativity and the "yes, and.." principle for use in teams.
