On the one hand, my reading take away is co-creation is about providing opportunities for expansion by a broader audience the ideas, message, advocacy, fundraising, or capabilities of some initiative regardless of what company, group, or organizational affiliation contributing individuals are associated with. On the other hand it seems like something bigger than that. The former strikes me as a group of folks creating a condition for something to grow and build from. I like that and let me know if my takeaway is in line with some of your thoughts here. That being said, there also seems to be a “Co-creation” that is something a little different:

“Co-creating new tools, campaigns, organizations or opportunities for social change requires certain opportunities: to be able to form teams, a place/way to showcase ideas, creating a shared vision, and opportunity to communicate across the group/network.”

This strikes me as the building or co-creation happening at a higher level, at the level of defining what needs to be done, rather than empowering others to build on what has been defined. Also, my read of Joe’s tweet fits this higher level as well.

Sharing some thoughts back to check some understandings.
