Who: As an associate of the Co-production Lab Wales, I delivered three co-production training sessions for the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Regional Partnership.
The brief:To provide a short recap on the foundational concepts of co-production, and to spend most of the session thinking about the implementation of co-production in the participants’ work contexts.
What I did:I started with a refresher / quick overview of the key concepts that assist in understanding co-production: what it is and isn’t, the values that underpin the approach, how co-production is part of a spectrum of engagement approaches, and using complexity theory models to understand when to use co-production. Then in breakout groups in their teams, and with regular support and feedback throughout, the participants worked through a structured template that enabled them to consider how they would turn the 5 values into tangible action, on a project of their choice.
What they said:
- “Really great training. Excellent facilitator. Really challenging and thought through. Inspiring.”
- “Very engaging and gets you thinking with the team work. Also helps to learn from others and hear their ideas.”
- “Really informative and explained well. After doing previous courses I felt this masterclass taught me more than I learned previously. Thank you.”
