CO-DESIGN - Close the gap to your clients with Ingrid van der Wacht
Making Public Sector more Effective
Public sector service providers and designers have the chance to come together to explore the implementation process of co-design with one of Europe’s leaders in the field, Ingrid van der Wacht of PROUD, from the Netherlands. The seminar and workshop will assist service providers and designers looking for innovative ways to improve the efficiency and user outcomes of public sector services for social innovation. Sharing tangible examples from the PROUD project Europe, attendees will be able to share knowledge across practices and the opportunity that can arise from cross pollination between designers and health and well being planners.
The seminar will be followed by a workshop to provide a small group the opportunity to get hands on experience putting the PROUD process into action.
We invite you to join us on this discovery tour of Co-Design from Proud, share your experiences and find potential collaborators for your future projects..
About Proud
PROUD: People, Researchers and Organisations Using Design for innovation and co-creation.
PROUD is a group of organisations from across Europe funded by the European Regional Development Fund exploring co-design as a strategy to get citizens and stakeholders involved in the formulation and solutions to problems.
Proud recognises the special role of co-design in user-centred design and improving public services that is underlined in the Report and Recommendations of the European Design Leadership Board: Design for (smart, sustainable + inclusive) Growth & Prosperity. This report states that ‘Co-design methods can ensure that public services are comprehensible, transparent and accessible. They can also provide the basis for the development of new services focused on real needs.’ During the course of PROUD the partners have worked with the following definition of co-design distilled from this report: ‘Co-Design is
a community centered methodology that designers use to enable people, who will be served by a designed outcome, to participate in designing solutions to their problems’.

The workshop will explore the fundamentals of great co-design with the aim of equipping participants to undertake effective co-design projects. Co-design is like travelling and exploring. This workshop offers a travel guide to let you join the journey PROUD Europe partners, made during their discovery tour. The tools from the PROUD discovery provide tips of how to start up a co-design journey yourself. You will be taken through the PROUD process and will be able to begin setting up your own process.
