Co-development is an innovative collaborative training and learning method to problem-solving based on knowledge and experience sharing. Founded on flexibility and trust, this approach requires participants to commit to identifying and examining all options, maintaining positive relationships, and supporting final decisions. This theory has been successfully delivered in other provinces such as Quebec.
