About Co.school

Co.school is a Canadian small business, based in British Columbia (Kelowna and Vancouver). We collaborate with partners to build new things.

Why is it called Co.school?
The co is about co-creation. The making and building of new things.
The school is about learning. We learn by doing.

So, we're about making & learning, together.

We work with friends, acquaintances, startups, not-for-profits, leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, change-makers, educators, explorers and community-minded service organizations.

  • New technology products (powered by AI experiments)
  • New audience insights (UX research, community-based design)
  • New strategies and plans (through facilitation and consulting)
  • New ways forward (through coaching and conversation)

Our Values

| Authenticity | When we contribute as our authentic selves, our collaborations flourish. | Hospitality | We need hospitable spaces where honest, creative work can be done. | Peace | Nonviolence is an option, even when we disagree, towards a healed world. We can bring humanity, dignity and empathy to the stories we hear. | Life | Inspired by living systems in nature, we bring energy towards growth and change. | Love | We want to lend our energy and creativity towards "re-membering" our part in life’s interconnectedness.
