Join Brugh O'Brien TACSI's lead on the Future of Home and Dr Simone Mandl lead of TACSI's Regenerative Communities portfolio to demystify co-design and community engagement and identify practical strategies to get started with it.

With an increasing requirement for co-design in the procurement of capital works people have been asking us to share what this means.  In this webinar we’ll discuss the following:

  • What is co-design and why is it in demand?
  • How can it add value to what you do?
  • How can you start incorporating co-design in your work?
