Abstract [en]
KTH, as most universities, is going through major transformations to respond to the challenges in society. In this contribution, we present ten years of development work that has aimed to enable strengthened participation in educational change, across KTH's organizational boundaries-among teachers, students, and administrative staff. A practitioner and action-oriented approach has guided the development work, from 2011 to today, in creating new meeting arenas. The pandemic outbreak and the associated paralysis of our normal activities proved to lead to an increased importance of the established arenas for educational issues. A broadening could be seen in participating actors and a significant increase in the number of participants. We conclude with emphasizing the value we see with organizing for participation in the transformation of higher education.
