New Narratives, Shared Space – Reflections on cocreation.festival #2

Reflections on cocreation.festival #2 at cocreation.loft

On April 25 – 26, 2025, cocreation.loft opened its doors for the second edition of the cocreation.festival, a two-day gathering devoted to exploring New Narratives for a joyful, inclusive, and regenerative future.

But what unfolded was more than a series of talks and workshops. It was a shared experience — one shaped by participation, openness, and the quiet power of a community coming together to make space for what matters.

A Festival Rooted in Co-Creation

The spirit of this year’s festival came not from outside headliners or grand announcements, but from within. Every session was crafted by people connected to the loft — by members, collaborators, and curious minds who believe in the power of shared learning.

Conversations didn’t end when talks did. Speakers stayed. Guests became co-creators. The boundaries blurred — between giving and receiving, presenting and participating.

There was rhythm. There was resonance. And at the center of it all was a shared willingness to pause, reflect, and imagine new ways of being in the world.

A Think Tank in Motion

cocreation.loft is evolving — from a coworking space into something more: a living Think Tank. Not through declarations, but through action. Through dialogue. Through the collective courage to sit with difficult questions — and begin answering them together.

The cocreation.festival has become the clearest expression of this evolution. It is where individual perspectives connect to collective meaning. Where creative practice meets social inquiry. Where new thinking gets tested — not in theory, but in relationship.

Looking Forward

What this festival reminded us: real change begins in real community.

As we look ahead, we don’t just want to repeat what worked.

We want to push it further.

  • To deepen the intersections between disciplines, voices, and lived experience.

  • To sharpen the questions we’re asking — and hold space for the ones we can’t yet answer.

  • To create moments that not only reflect the future — but begin to shape it.

The cocreation.festival isn’t about spectacle.

It’s about substance, practice, and the slow work of transformation.

And if we’ve learned anything, it’s this:

The stories that shape tomorrow don’t come from the center.

They start at the edges — in places like this.

Together, we write what’s next.
