Welcome to episode 3 of my new podcast 'Agents of Hope'.
My name is Tim Cox. I am a trainee Educational Psychologist and I am passionate about psychology, hope and society. This podcast aims to promote hopeful thinking and conversation about positive change in the field of applied educational psychology, education and wider society.

Episode #3
In this episode, I speak to a fellow Trainee Educational Psychologist Naomi Boswell. Naomi talks about her upbringing as a 'village child' and the positive experiences with education and the courageous steps she took into the unknown which underpin her professional values. Naomi has developed a keen interest in collaborative practice and is currently studying co-production for her thesis topic. If you are interested in Naomi's ideas you can follow her on twitter @naomilouist
During our discussion, we try to define what is meant by co-production and practical steps which EP/TEPs can take to introduce co-production with children and young people into their practice. We discuss the values of the education system and whether it is ever compatible with the hopes and aspirations of the young people it educates. We conclude by trying to tackle a tough question from the TEP Facebook community about how to know when something has been truly collaborative and how to manage power dynamics in our work.
