Description

In this webinar we will draw on examples from the field to explore the concept of co-designing. Co-design is increasingly emphasised in service design and delivery but interpretations of the process and approach can vary greatly. A central goal of the Centre for Transforming early Education and Child Health (TeEACH) is to actively engage with families to meet their needs in the delivery of services and to ensure service usability. Co-design is typically a very interactive process and of course this has been challenging with COVID-19 restrictions. This webinar focuses on the experiences of continuing the Sharing Parenting Stories and Love project over the COVID-19 lockdown period. The Sharing Parenting Stories and Love project aims to support and strengthen vulnerable families by engaging a small group of South Asian mothers in designing activities to build connections and collaborations for all mothers. By coming together to share, listen, explore, design and experience, five mothers have developed a strong friendship and agency in the design of a program of activities that support their children’s health and development and will be used to improve outcomes for ‘new’ mothers and their children in their local community.
