The objective of the workshop is two-fold.
1) Using the cards – For all participants to have the experience of using the co-design cards in a realistic way, that they feel confident to apply them in everyday practice.
2) Developing the cards – Trial the new card elements so that the natural environment is considered in all our co-design processes. The feedback from participants will be used to iterate those cards.
Using the Cards
There are four different types of cards: foundation, creation, process and stakeholder cards. Each card has a short description of the concept, starting questions for discussing your project and a research reference. There are many ways to ‘play’ with the cards. We will introduce the cards and the two basic modes of play, (single and multiple cards). Using the selected projects, we will play with the cards on virtual tables in groups.
Developing new Cards
Linking to the theme of a greener future and the need to think about environmental impact across themes, we have developed environment cards. These will be introduced into the workshop. We’ll look to get feedback on both the difference this makes to the design and how the cards might be improved.
