Description
The training will consist of two in-person sessions which will be modeled to offer the experience of being a part of a co-design process. In between sessions, you will have the opportunity to practice being a community researcher/designer and explore opportunities for co-design with colleagues and other partners. This training is ideal for organization leaders, community leaders, municipalities and department leaders, community developers, project managers, communication managers and professionals, and anyone who specializes in equitable community engagement and decision-making.
Some objectives of this training are:
• Understand the community co-design process and purpose.
• Know how to identify projects that are well suited for co-design as well as when projects might be better suited for other methods.
• Learn how to evaluate and ensure a co-design project is set up for success and is largely consistent in process and intention.
• Build a shared language around co-design.
• Identify projects and collaborations for co-design in the future.
• Develop a relationship with a team that can offer ongoing support and coaching to apply co-design.
