Course Overview

Shift defines coproduction as the interdependence of people at all levels of a system collaborating as equal partners. When done successfully, coproduction creates the information, knowledge, and know-how to generate equitable outcomes. This approach is built on the principle that those affected by a system are best placed to help design or improve it.

In this workshop, we evaluate and explore how to support deep participation by everyone affected by a system, particularly communities often denied a seat at the design and decision making table. It serves as an excellent follow-up to Shift's course SAIL
