**Abstract**

My contribution to understanding the various creativity logics stemmed from the research outcomes of a three-year educational developmental project. Based on previous experience and collaborative work, five universities started a project aiming to develop their teaching practice. The project was carried out with help from participating students, teachers, managers, and professionals working with youth issues. This study explored the elements of co-influencing collaborative creativity in the context of bachelor of social work programs. The repertoire of development strategies includes such techniques as research overviews regarding actual issues in the young people's living conditions, studying formal documentation, joint work in developing a course curriculum, and piloting pedagogical practice. I investigated the practices retrospectively, since the subject may be of interest to professionals and students in social sciences disciplines, who make use of qualitative research methods where the investigator may interact with research subjects and produces data from narratives, written texts, and discourses.
