Co-design has become a valued and effective community-centric approach to developing healthy and equitable projects, policies, and practices in the Rochester region. However, we have also seen what can happen if co-design is co-opted as just another “box” to be checked. If you are not familiar, co-design is an approach to encourage, compensate, and prioritize the inclusion of diverse populations throughout the design and development process. We would like to invite you to participate in training sessions designed to proactively ensure that those leading organizations and projects are able to create meaningful co-design opportunities and structures for shared decision-making in the work that you do.
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 to 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 on-going support and coaching to apply co-design.
The training will consist of two in-person sessions which will be modeled to offer experiences 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.
Options for Session 1 (3 hours total): October 8th 1-4pm , or October 10th 9am-12pm. (select one of the options). We will cover what co-design is, how to identify opportunities for co-design, and how to think about building relational networks of key community stakeholders.
Options for Session 2 (two hours total): October 22nd 11am-1pm, or October 24th 1-3pm (select one of the options). We will cover how to evaluate co-design processes, share back insights from the mini-design sprint, and building on those insights discuss how to initiate a co-design project.
Please share this invitation with your colleagues who didn’t attend previously the Community Co-design Leadership training. We would like to receive a confirmation by July 31st if you, or your colleagues are interested in participating the training, and which session options you would like to sign up for.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns:
