Is curriculum co-creation implemented in your university of study or work? How ?
Hello! I believe it depends on the teacher(s) an course you're doing. I once got the opportunity to teach at a university and was told I'd have to come up with the curriculum myself. I've had teachers who do co-teaching in the classroom, and therefore co-create the course's curriculum I believe.
Interesting question and reply.
Formally it happens in my University, since each course and class receive evaluation from students at the end of the semester. This evaluation is expected to assist in redesigning curriculum or syllabi.
It depends on many factors, through as previously mentioned.

It is a good point.
Class evaluation by students is one of the dimensions of curriculum co-creation.
This is not in practice to our Indian universities. Just faculty prepare and University approve the curriculum.
This should be implemented for a greater learning culture.

It depends on situation and teachers' willingness. Team teaching, workshop, lab activities, Group discussion & evaluation can be designed as the required strategy.
At present much of the curriculum in UK universities is still prepared by faculty members. There are exceptions but these are in the minority. There is some space for student self-directed projects, workplace assessments or individual projects, particularly in the final year of UG degree or PG degrees but core curriculum is usually approved before students arrive, sometimes several years before.
In some instances, lecturers are asked to make recommendations with regards to courses of study and the kinds of assessments needed to achieve the course objectives. However, I would also like to see the results of what happens when lecturers are given greater control of instructional leadership with regards their course outline and classroom praxis.
you are welcome. Is there any chance we can collaborate to see if better results are obtained when teachers a given a greater level of curriculum autonomy?
