Course Creation Workshops

Teach young people to share what they know

We run hands-on workshops where youth groups build and publish their own micro-courses — no experience needed. By the end, every participant has created something real.

What happens in a workshop

Each workshop runs 60–90 minutes and ends with participants publishing a real course on CoCreate. We handle all the facilitation — your group just shows up ready to create.

1

How to pick a topic

We help participants identify something they know well and turn it into a focused, teachable idea.

2

Structuring a micro-course

Breaking a topic into clear sections, writing a syllabus, and setting learning objectives that actually stick.

3

Writing for learners

How to explain things clearly — no jargon, no fluff. Practical writing that helps people build real skills.

4

Publishing on CoCreate

Participants walk away with a live, published course they built themselves during the workshop.

Who it's for

Workshops are designed for groups of young people aged 10–18. No prior experience with writing, teaching, or tech is needed — just curiosity and something worth sharing.

  • Youth clubs & after-school programs
  • School coding or media classes
  • Community centers
  • Teen summer programs
  • Libraries & learning spaces

Why it works

Teaching something is one of the most effective ways to learn it. When young people build a course — even a short one — they practise organising their thoughts, explaining ideas clearly, and thinking about what someone else needs to understand. Those are skills that carry into every subject and every future career.

CoCreate's format is designed to make this feel achievable: micro-courses are short by design, so participants aren't overwhelmed. Most young people are surprised by what they manage to create in under two hours.
