Foundations for Co-Design Intensive
Short course, 22 & 23 October 2024
Are you working in government, the not-for-profit sector or in philanthropy and interested in strengthening your approach to co-design and co-production? This short course will give you a conceptual, practical, and pragmatic grounding in how to do effective co-design in your organisation.
You’ll learn to apply co-design with Carla Clarence, TACSI’s Future of Mental Health lead and TACSI lived expertise associates Kirsty Rosie and Peter Kennedy.
They’ll help you get clear on what it takes to do co-design and co-production well, and give you the tools needed to explore how you can realise co-design in your work, your organisation, and the broader system.
The course is based on TACSI’s experience of co-designing services and policy in education, disability, home and housing, health and mental health settings, ageing and communities. Participants have come from a range of social purpose organisations, including government departments, service providers and academics to build co-design capability.
