Understanding the basics of genuine co-design for graduate researchers

Last month, some of the ALIVE team prepared and delivered a one-day workshop on understanding the basics of genuine co-design for graduate researchers. The workshop provided a practical, interactive and experiential learning approach, designed to develop an understanding of what co-design is and is not within a research context, using recent PhD work as examples.
