UPCOMING: Co-Design Workshops
QDN and CRU are partnering to deliver in-person and online workshops about co-design. These workshops are designed for people with lived experience of disability interested in learning more about co-design and who want to actively contribute to or lead co-design projects.
Across the workshops, you’ll learn:
- What conditions support good co-design and how to create good co-design
- How to use participatory and collaborative approaches to bring people together
- How to choose the right tools, questions and resources to get the best results.
We’ll break down the co-design model so it’s easy to understand and apply. You’ll have the chance to explore real-life examples, practice using co-design tools, and reflect on how these approaches can lead to better outcomes.
There are two Co-Design Workshops, you can attend one or both. They are not a series of workshops; each workshop is a one-off. The information provided about each will help you to choose which is the right one for you.
