Co-Design Bootcamp

This two day bootcamp introduces you to the principles and methods of co-design. This will centre on developing the knowledge of how participatory design for mixed audiences can be developed and delivered through the facilitation of co-design workshops and events.

Course Content

This is relevant for those who wish to engage service users and communities in decision making through creative processes, and is most appropriate for those who already work professionally with such groups.

This bootcamp introduces you to co-design through dynamic and interactive workshops explaining how co-design is used within the service design process.

How creativity works for both individuals and groups
Approaches to innovation that involve users and consumers
Examples and case studies
How prototyping contributes to the co-design process
The methods and value of prototyping in service design
Key methods of prototyping services
How to use prototyping in collaborative design processes
What graphic facilitation is and how to apply it in co-design
The key principles and approaches of co-design facilitation
How to communicate, document and report a co-design workshop

This is an innovative way of gaining new skills and knowledge through project based learning tackling “live pitch problems”.

We are hoping to welcome business, public sector professionals in local government, healthcare and social enterprises to focus on how service design can improve quality and get closer to the needs of citizens and customers.

We do not recommend that you undertake this course without prior knowledge of Service Design Tools and Methods which can be obtained from the User Research and Tools and Methods bootcamp/unit(s).
