Beschreibung: This article identifies change and learning within a complex ecosystem aiming for healthy ageing through action research. Learning, innovation and progress are all referred to as change. Reflecting on a surprisingly good outcome within a collaborative project between dental care and municipal healthcare, fearing that change and learning from a predetermined outcome could overshadow elements that enabled change, a theoretical flow approach was used as an entrance to perspectives of change and learning. Flow approach made it possible to sense movement, focusing on timing, attentionality and undergoing.A research question was formulated: What change and learning outcomes can be identified through the lens of a flow approach? By looking beyond the project, focusing on what enabled change, actions could be traced that might have been overlooked in the absence of a flow approach. Although oral health is important for health, interprofessional collaborative projects have, to our knowledge, never been explored using a flow approach. This article contributes to theory by broadening perspectives on change and learning. Long-term interprofessional collaboration became evident as an enabling factor when mapping the emergence of change through a flow approach aiming for healthy ageing.
