This workshop was designed to be an open space to share and discuss possibilities to act for fundamental, perhaps radical, change in engineering education - towards an education that not only fosters technological excellence, but also contributes to fundamentally transforming society towards more sustainable ways of living.Our aim was to engage the participants in collaborative learning and co-creation activities to develop new knowledge, agency, and networks for educational change.To stimulate discussions, we first introduced two approaches for driving transformation: humor and activism.Then we introduced the “yes and”-technique which has previously been successfully applied for organizational development in higher education.Six groups with five to six participants applied this technique during the workshop.The 'yes and'-technique engaged the groups significantly and participants reported that they were surprised at how difficult it was to avoid the words “no”, “not”, and “but.We co-developed a list of action points that we can use to contribute to transforming engineering education where several action points were inspired by activism and/or humour.
