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.
