In this episode, Tracey and Dan talk about the importance of designing your co-design process in a way that is inclusive for your participants. They share the 5 areas to think about when setting up your project, that maximise participation.

Here is a taste of what Tracey and Dan cover in the conversation

  • Does the co-design process bring out the best in stakeholders and encourage participation? 
  • Are you accessing the right stakeholders? Tips on how you can get access to isolated or ‘hard to reach’ people
  • How can you design a space where people can participate meaningfully?
  • What effect does timing have on participation? Could you be accidentally excluding people by running your project during certain hours such as business hours?
  • Do your activities bring the best out of people, and if not, how do you ensure they do?
  • How do you remunerate people involved in the co-design project? How can you offer individuals a reason to be there and encourage their efforts in a way that is fair?
