“…Furthermore, all reported that the workshops made them feel included, listened to and many described how they felt valued and respected by faciliators and other participants, particularly in the way in which their ideas were acknowledged and developed. This builds on research that indicates the potential of co-design to have a positive social impact on participants (Hagen et al, 2018;Prendiville & Akama, 2016;Sanders & Simons, 2009) and in this research, a co-design approach becomes a tool for youth futures and employment support. The project continues to evolve beyond the initial workshops and arguably the outcomes have the potential to influence young people's lives going into the future and contribute to socioeconomic changes for the rural communities, addressing geographical inequalities.…”

“…There is a need for research, which explores how design can contribute to tackling place-based inequality and distributing the benefits to more people and places in the UK (Bailey et al, 2021;Design Council, 2018Kimbell et al, 2021). Collaborative design approaches have been applied to provide underrepresented people an active role in developing design interventions that directly benefit them and their communities (Galleguillos Ramírez & Coşkun, 2020;Hagen et al, 2018;Zamenopoulos & Alexiou, 2018). There is limited literature on the of use co-design with young people who do not have fair access to learning and work opportunities in the UK, therefore this research looks to explore this area.…”

“…To deliver lasting value to those involved and their communities, the approach should consider the sustainability of the intervention before, during and after co-design (Sejer Iversen & Dindler, 2014). Co-design approaches can be used to create design outcomes including products, services and experiences, and participants' active involvement has the potential to deliver social value (Hagen et al, 2018;Prendiville & Akama, 2016;Sanders & Simons, 2009).…”

This paper explores how co-design approaches contribute to support, learning and work opportunities for young people who are socially and economically disadvantaged because of where they live in the UK. The paper presents a project in which an arts organisation, design researcher and young people living in three rural areas in the North West of England came together to co-design opportunities for rural youth. The approach benefitted all involved, delivering outcomes such as new networks, youth spaces, paid work opportunities and transformed the arts organisation's practice. The approach also broadened awareness of rural opportunities, shifted views on living and working rurally, increased confidence, developed skills and created informal career guidance spaces. The paper advocates for design research to address place-based socioeconomic inequalities, therefore "levelling up" and rebalancing the learning, support and work opportunities for young people, therefore investing in peoples' lives through collaborative design.

“…In recent years, there is an evidence showing that co-design approach benefits students in supporting their empowerment and engagement. 1 The practice of designing arts emphasizes the nature of design activities, respect for different opinions, non-technical and nonverbal engagement, and continuous evaluation in the design process. 2 It is believed that service-learning subject practicing expressive textile arts in co-design process is effective to bring benefits to students.…”

This study aims to find out the impact of expressive textile arts practice in co-design process on undergraduate students after taking a series of co-design textile arts and fashion creativity workshops from the service learning subject, “Community Engagement through Expressive Textile Arts and Fashion” offered by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2018and 2019. A total of 38 prototypes had been jointly created by ex-mentally ill persons, people with intellectual disabilities, subject lecturers and undergraduate students during the co-design workshops in these two cohorts. Concepts of ex-mentally ill persons and people with intellectual disabilities in the community, expressive arts therapy, textile arts, expressive textile arts and service-learning subject were introduced in this subject. In the co-design process, students were expected to gain new knowledge and skills after they participated in the lectures, seminars, workshops and mini fashion show of the service-learning subject. In this study, quantitative research method was used to explore the impacts of co-design process on students practicing expressive textile arts with their service recipients. For the results, positive impacts are found on students regard to their participation in this service-learning subject. The main advancements include empowerment and enhancement of community engagement.

Objectives: The Pasifika Prediabetes Youth Empowerment Programme (PPYEP) was a community‐based research project that aimed to investigate empowerment and co‐design modules to build the capacity of Pasifika youth to develop community interventions for preventing prediabetes. Methods: This paper reports findings from a formative evaluation process of the programme using thematic analysis. It emphasises the adoption, perceptions and application of empowerment and co‐design based on the youth and community providers’ experiences. Results: We found that the programme fostered a safe space, increased youth's knowledge about health and healthy lifestyles, developed their leadership and social change capacities, and provided a tool to develop and refine culturally centred prediabetes‐prevention programmes. These themes emerged non‐linearly and synergistically throughout the programme. Conclusions: Our research emphasises that empowerment and co‐design are complementary in building youth capacity in community‐based partnerships in health promotion. Implications for public health: Empowerment and co‐design are effective tools to develop and implement culturally tailored health promotion programmes for Pasifika peoples. Future research is needed to explore the programme within different Pasifika contexts, health issues and Indigenous groups.
