Abstract

The aim of our study is to reveal how distributed leadership and community engagement provide necessary resources and expertise support for grassroots initiatives. We investigate to what extent may grassroots innovations be considered as a part of transformational potential within the educational system. To discuss these issues we build upon the concept of grassroots innovations, and we combine it with the concept of distributed leadership to incorporate the aspect of co-creation by considering transformational potential in education. We present the following three main results of our study. First, we explored distributed leadership across and between organisations and even levels of education. We present the differences between internal and external ties. Second, we explored existing formats and types of collaboration within the educational sphere. Third, we identified the role played by non-governmental organisations in these partnerships.
