Understanding Co-design - May 2025

Co-design is everywhere – but what do we mean when we use the language of co-design? 

📋 Session description

In this session, you’ll learn about:

• What co-design is and is not
• How to recognise co-design and tell it apart from other design and engagement approaches 
• The different roles within co-design
• A few ways to plan co-design 

You won't learn how to deliver workshops or facilitate co-design. Like any skill, co-design takes time, experience and supervision to develop.
