We love collaborating whether through projects, partnerships, or simply the sharing of ideas.
Humans are relational beings. We harness the superpower of relational learning in all of our collaborations, believing that we can always do more together than alone. If you would like to explore collaborating with us then please reach out and let's talk.

Four Hills Education Trust
We are journeying with Four Hills and their five primary schools over a period of five years to co-create learning communities centred in CARE: Critical Thinking, Aspirations, Resilience and Empathy.
We are co-developing a learning pathway grounded in Learning to THRIVE and researching and sharing what we learn along the way. We are especially excited by the chance to work with Four Hills which was seeded back in 2016 when the now CEO first engaged with us through the former Global Learning Programme - England.
In late 2026 we expanded the collaboration to work alongside other partners to support strategic change cross the Trust. This includes the design and delivery of a bespoke changemaking offer for staff in leadership roles..
PositiveNegatives
Our collaboration with PositiveNegatives began by developing learning materials to support their animations and comics that share stories built from real-world research.
The partnership has since expanded and we became more directly involved in projects from the start, working alongside academics and partners to help frame the artistic storytelling.
We developed a specific pedagogical approach that we call Animated Learning to shape our work together. More recently we have supported the development and delivery of exhibitions in galleries providing interpretation and public engagement activities and running workshops for educators and school groups.
We continue to look for new ways to build and expand our partnership as the journey continues...
Peak District National Park
Over a four year period we supported the Peak District National Park to imagine and bring to life a new Learning and Discovery offer to support schools and communities to engage with the awe, wonder and nature connectedness of the National Park.
Following on from this we also journeyed with the Peak Park Conservation Volunteers helping them to explore a sustainable model for the vital work they do in maintaining the park through community engagement and involvement.
British Red Cross
Over a ten year period we journeyed alongside educators within British Red Cross to collectively shape what Humanitarian Education should look like. We created frameworks, explored language, co-created shared practice and questioned what success would look like.
Following on from this we then collaborated with the resources and communications team to translate the new Humanitarian Education framework into practice through co-creating resources for educators and schools.
Values in Schools Alliance
We were asked by an alliance made up of Oxfam, British Red Cross, Practical Action, Think Global and the National Children's Bureau to co-design, deliver and evaluate a national pilot project in England putting social and environmental justice values at the heart of education.
Following the year long pilot, we then developed the outcomes into a 'Learning Through Values' journey that we have since shared with thousands of educators and organisations helping to put values at the heart of thriving.
Xiehe Education Organisation
We were invited to travel with Xiehe Education Organisation (Shanghai) to bring our Learning Through Values approach to their international and dual stream schools. This involved a four year process of workshops, co-learning and adapting of materials and approaches to the Chinese context.
Our values journey evolved to include the introduction of Philosophy for Children (P4C) to several of their schools and kickstarted the eventual emergence of P4C China to continue this work.
The lessons from this collaboration were shared through an international publication called 'Creating Inspirational Schools' where we supported a community of educators in producing, designing and publishing their stories and experiences for others to learn from.
The Springhead Trust
The Springhead Trust are custodians of a wonderful site in Dorset that was instrumental in the founding of the Soil Association that stewards organic farming practices in the UK. They approached us to help them imagine how they might use their site and its offerings to engage schools in learning about sustainability, nature and environmental stewardship.
Through a process of discovery, co-design and action learning, the Lifeworlds and Springhead teams experimented together over three years to co-create Learn with Springhead as a distinct educational offer for schools.
Looking ahead we now hope to push our imagination towards new spaces where we might engage educators, communities and organisations in the important conversations of our times, using Springhead as an inspiration for being and becoming otherwise.
Peacemakers
We worked alongside Peacemakers to help them bring years of experience in peace education together in the form of a publication: Learning for Peace.
We supported the Peacemakers team through the process of bringing ideas into a published format and helped them with design and communication approaches to bring life to their practice and make it available to a wider audience.
We completed a revised version of the publication in 2025 and in our ongoing collaboration with Peacemakers we are now exploring how to bring the publication into focus for the Welsh schools audience with a bilingual version due in 2027.
