Identify Your Codesign

is a creative and gamification workshop in which students from the MA Design for Social Innovation and Sustainable Futures program were given two different hypothetical scenarios with incompleted codesign identity cards. The task of the workshop is to complete the codesign identity cards for the two scenarios with the consideration of space, participants, materials, and accessibility. 

The workshop was organised after a 45-minute presentation about queering the codesign, possible mindflow of planning a codesign and some practical tips for codesign. It aims to inspire the students to think about codesign out of the box, codesign is not just a codesign workshop, and help them practice codesign planning skills in different situations with external limitations.

It(the co-design identity card) is really helpful and clear to assist me in thinking and planning how I would do codesign step by step in different phases of my project. Thinking about the environment and using the materials in that space is also a good point to consider. That’s a great practice and brainstorming experience.”
