The aim of this article is to describe the development and initial trial of a cross-organisational webinar, and to explore whether such a learning environment can promote the development of skills in innovation, leadership and collaboration within nursing education. Representatives from local health services, specialist healthcare, academia and third-year nursing students participated in a digital arena for knowledge sharing, reflection and co-creation. The initiative was informed by action development, and drew on social constructivist, sociocultural and systems theory perspectives. Experiences indicated that the webinar was perceived as relevant, inclusive and valuable for professional dialogue and cross-organisational learning. Students gained insight into real-world development processes and participated in discussions with practitioners. The pilot also highlighted the need for earlier student involvement, broader stakeholder representation and more systematic evaluation. The findings suggest that digital co-creative learning arenas can strengthen links between education and practice and support leadership, innovation and service development competence.
