100 Stories of Co-production

Short films to help you spread the word about co-production

You can use any of these short films wherever & whenever you want, as tools to help you get the message across about what co-production means.

The films take you inside different co-production experiences in Scotland. The aim is to:

• inspire
• provoke conversation and discussion
• show ‘warts and all’ of co-production

If you or your team are facing challenges, you’re not alone. Grit is an inevitable part of the process.

These films were developed by coproductionscotland.org.uk, the Ingage team at Scottish Government, the ihub in NHS Healthcare Improvement Scotland, and social enterprise film-makers mediaco-op.net.

‘Created by conversation’

Meet a mixed bunch: a former prisoner, a civil servant, a manager from Virgin Trains. Who better to come together to work out a solution to the intractable problem of getting a job after prison?

“The normal rules were out of the window. When you can bring private, public and third sectors together, you have a level of creativity which you don’t working in your normal boundaries” says Damien Henderson of Virgin Trains.

This film is to:

• show that private, public and third sectors can co-produce together
• reassure anyone doing co-production that culture clashes are a normal part of the process
• explain how co-production creates new solutions that none of the partners could have done on their own
