Co-Pro Cuppas
We hold monthly informal online meetings for everyone interested in co-production to discuss and share their experiences and ideas, and connect with others over a cuppa.
About
Our Co-Pro Cuppas are an informal chance to connect with others interested in co-production and chat about whatever you fancy over a cuppa.
These online sessions on Zoom are very informal and are a great way to meet others interested in co-production and share experiences, get ideas, and learn together. So, whether it is something that's new to you or you have been involved in co-production for a long time we'd love to see you there!
We have a Cuppa during the first week of every month. It lasts for 90 minutes and is usually split into two 45-minute discussion blocks. So you’re welcome to pop in for some, or all of the session.
For accessibility purposes, we generate a live transcript, using a service called Otter AI.
We don’t offer payment for joining a Cuppa, because these focus on networking or personal development rather than contributing to co-creating the Collective (which is the equivalent of ‘work’).
Feedback we had from previous Co-Pro Cuppas:
"Thank you so much for yesterday’s Co-Pro Cuppa session. It’s the first time I’ve been and found it a really supportive and welcoming space." - Participant
“Thank you everyone, I’m in the early stages of myco-production project and this has all been really useful! 💛“ - Aya
“Co-production has been central and intrinsic to the way I have worked since 1989. When a colleague introduced me to the Collective in 2020, it felt like coming home. I attend the CoPro Cuppas regularly. It is lovely to talk with and listen to people who are steeped in the values of co-production, but also with people who are new to this way of thinking, but keen to learn. This mixture of people with varying experiences and from different backgrounds results in very rich conversations which may be stimulating, eye-opening or affirming, but are never dull.” - Pat Scrutton, Co-producer

Testimonials
"I happened to discover the Co-Production Collective community bringing together all sorts of people to engage in a permanent dialogue, co-produce and co-deliver tangible action. This decision had a profound impact on me as a person and an advocate for mental health issues. When I was attending the informal Cuppa sessions for the first time, I could not believe that the journey would be so rich in experiences. "
"The Co-Production training felt like a safe space among equals and meant we were able to address any pre-conceived worries or barriers to co-production in research as a two-way approach to learning. The future of research is co-produced so without a doubt, all PhD students need this training!"
