Designing for Inclusive and Engaged Communities

Through co-design, we aimed to unite designers and the community (Lions Befrienders from Health District) to empathetically create solutions. By co-creating with social service workers and elderly from Queenstown, students were able to develop holistic and inclusive frameworks to improve our silver communities.

01

Voices from the Community

Together with Dr Bina Rai from Biomedical Engineering, the Hub planned the co-design week to centre around the idea of designing for inclusive, engaged communities in the Health District. Workshops were held with social workers and elderly to allow students to actually interact and understand what the community truly needs.

02

Co-creation Workshops

Several workshops were held throughout the week to guide students along the design process, such as Empathy Mapping, Service Staging Planning and Maketools.
