CoDesignCo, a network of practitioners learning and sharing about creative and participatory ways to engage people in our work.
We are a community of people working to co-create compassionate systems.
We use co-design and adjacent practices to engage a diverse range of people in our work.
We work inside and outside public purpose organisations and broader systems to promote equity, wellbeing, regeneration and justice. Recognising the practical and emotional challenges of this work, we’ve come together to support each other to keep learning and growing.
More than your usual community of practice, this is about creating new structures, knowledge and relationships to support creative and participatory ways of working. Just as we care for participants and colleagues in the work we do, we want each other to feel valued, cared for, and connected.
