Introduction to Design Council
Where we are now: Design as a force for
change
Health & Wellbeing Design SkillsSustainable Living
Our vision is a world where design, as a force for change, makes lives better for all.
A mindset and skillset. Critical thinking and creativity combined. Much more than aesthetics.
What is design?
policymaking and place shaping are using digital
methods to engage communities in designing
their own futures

Matt Mcstravick, Deepr
At the centre of every design problem is a human relationship.
When people come together with meaningful
connection they:
Carry out whatever task is at hand to the very best of their
ability
Take great care of the experience of the other
Are far more flexible when it comes to changes in their
expectations and problems in the process
Experience feelings of belonging, wellbeing and want to repeat
the activity
The Framework
3. ‘Be’ human connection as you ‘do’ human connection
4. Embrace new rituals of human connection

Sarah Jones-Morris (Landsmith Associates) Co-chair of ACD
There are different ways of using digital technologies; to enable communities to understand their environments better, to have agency and to co-design places with professionals.
We’ve selected some examples of excellent practice submitted by the ACD network:
• Participation through data gathering
• Imagining hybrid spaces
Shaping social places using tech
Initial stages of scoping out a community-led plan for a town in Wales
A balanced range of digital tools to enable people to engage with the project in ways in which they feel are accessible.
Prepared an approach that seeks to enable people to engage in different ways throughout the project - to enable 'depth' and 'breadth’:
• Breadth: website / stakeholder email list / Place Check map / newsletter
• Depth: Online focus groups (via zoom) for different stakeholder groups including schools and youth groups / Google forms / Place Check (www.placecheck.info) walkabouts - taking the phone or tablet out to populate the digital map whilst out on a walk

Your Role as a participant
Your role in all of this is to be honest, to tell us what you think and to not hold back thoughts or comments you think are important.
You will not hurt our feelings.
Our job in this session is to listen, so please share what’s on your mind in the session.
NOTICE: To capture learning and insights during the call we will look to record the call and may ask you to screen your share for a brief period of time when you are on the call if you are on a laptop.
You will not have to turn your camera on if you are uncomfortable with this.
Participant recruitment is marketing

Digital and remote engagement, creative learning and reciprocal value in public consultation
How do you replicate the messy creativity and genuine connection of hands on processes when you can’t meet in person?
How can we learn from digital communities
How has building remote engagement processes helped shape our thinking and future practice

Co-designing is a spectrum
Question where the power lies in setting the brief, the vision
and what expertise is needed to implement it

Creating purposeful and respectful ways for people to participate?
Actively listening, so as to value the wisdom of those sharing?
Creating the right conditions for people to feel supported, appreciated, welcome and to show up as they wish?
Behaving in a way that is reinforcing power dynamic or inequity - or creating the space for change?
Seeking and validating consent through, early and often?
Intentionally building long term relationships and only leaving good behind?
Acting in a way that allows positive opportunities to emerge beyond the life of this ‘project’?
