Empowering Whole-Community Co-Creation

Reach School offers space to reflect, connect, and re-engage through curiosity and small, intentional actions. We ask simple questions that help move from passivity to participation, taking charge of our learning journeys, even in the smallest interactions. These moments remind us of the power of being in conversation—with each other, and with the world around us. As part of our mission, we are striving to make virtual spaces feel alive through thoughtful facilitation and a strong sense of collective presence.

As a global network of teams operating in so many different local and international contexts, we are lucky to be able to tap into a wide range of observations and reflections on how our practice and impact keep evolving. Understanding how our work with clients and partners is gradually changing in a world where so much is in transition is an important part of our ‘reflective learning practice’.

In our network, we encourage everyone to bring forward topics they find important for discussion. Recently, three studios from India, the Netherlands, and Mexico collaborated to invite us to reflect on the decolonization of design. This conversation is particularly relevant to our practice as design researchers.
