The current social problems in South Africa demand new levels of thinking, intervention, and educational and training models. We describe here how different disciplines of the Faculty of Humanities, University of Pretoria, collaborated in coβcreating opportunities for children living on the street by applying the principles of participatory action research. Cooperation among various disciplines is possible in a training and research context as well as in community interventions. Data for reflecting on the process was obtained from formal policy documents of the faculty as well as through accounts drawn from many of the participants involved. Interdisciplinary collaboration is more likely to occur if there is a continuous sharing of ideas and support of intrinsic creativity among all members involved. Β© 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
