Introduction to Co-design with and for communities

Introduction to Co-design with and for communities

As part of the Carnegie Community Engagement Network offerings, we invite you to take part in the webinar "Introduction to Co-design with and for Communities" led by TACSI.

Join us for a one-hour webinar hosted by Chris Vanstone, TACSI’s Chief Innovation Officer, and Dr Simone Mandl, Principal of Regenerative Communities. Chris and Simone will introduce practical frameworks for community engagement and co-design, drawing on the TACSIs portfolio of work over the last decade, which includes working with rural communities, Aboriginal communities, communities that have experienced bushfires, multicultural communities, younger people, and older people.  The webinar will also include an exploration of the space where co-design meets research and the various ways researchers can work in participatory ways with communities. 

Topics covered in the webinar include:  

● Frameworks for thinking about practical options for co-design and co-production  

● Framework for a design-based process for planning and organising co-design projects  

● Case studies from TACSI’s work  

● An exploration of the space where co-design meets research, and the various ways researchers can work in participatory ways with communities
