Abstract

In interdisciplinary or intercultural groups, it is of vital importance that the members of the group are able to use and share knowledge across the standard boundaries that exists around disciplines and practices. Often a lot of effort, coaching and practice are required to avoid pitfalls such as production blocking, evaluation apprehension, misunderstandings, judgmental argumentation or just inability to understand each other's professional, social or cultural way of thinking. This paper finds that discussion as a tool in interdisciplinary or intercultural groups is limiting the possibilities of using and sharing knowledge and experiences. The paper suggests replacing discussion with The Creative Platform as the tool for using and sharing knowledge and experiences, thereby replacing "limited" with "unlimited" use of knowledge and experiences. Interdisciplinary groups are of vital importance. They are of particular importance when a diverse knowledge production is needed, e.g. for solving complex problems or for finding new solutions to existing problems. The paper presents a didactic approach called The Creative Platform as an attempt to create a didactic for interdisciplinary and intercultural group work.
