share an idea wins international award

Share an Idea, the community public engagement campaign developed for the Christchurch City Council has been recognised internationally.

Share an Idea, which involved the community sharing its ideas for the redevelopment of the Central City following the earthquakes was the “unanimous overall winner” of this year’s Co-creation Awards, which recognise and celebrate the most original and successful co-creation initiatives.

It is the first time the Netherlands-based Co-Creation Association has given the award to an initiative outside Europe. Share an Idea was nominated by Capgemini Consulting after the company read about the initiative on a Dutch news website.
