Navigating Power, Building Relationships, and Fostering Trust

This is the third online event in our CoPro2022 event series.

We will discuss the challenges of sharing power, building relationships and fostering trust in co-design and co-production activities. Participants will learn how different relational power dimensions interact in health and welfare service design. A COMPASS to assist in navigating relational dimensions of co-design will also be presented.

Participants are welcome, for this event, to select their breakout room ahead of time. Each room will feature interactive discussions with speakers and fellow attendees on topics discussed in the workshop. Keep reading for more details about each room.
