Co-Design for All: Public Transport Accessibility
Free E-Learning Course
Organised by UITP Academy as part of the Transport Innovation for disabled People needs Satisfaction.
The Co-design for All course is a free online programme on how to put together a case study proposal using a co-design approach.
What You Will Learn
By the end of the course, you will have learned how to put together a case study proposal using co-design. This will be achieved by learning how to adapt and apply these methods to your chosen real life scenario and by producing materials contextualized to it.
This course is broken down into modules, each with a video lecture, a PowerPoint, an exercise and a corresponding output.
Each module focuses on a specific strategy created with the seven cities participating in the project. As a set these strategies form a structure that aims to centre the people most affected by a change-process in the planning and development of it – and ultimately are in control of determining what this process is used for, and how it will affect their lives.
The core structure of the course is organised into seven modules: first, ‘ ‘The co in co-design’; second, ‘ A process informed by research’; third, ‘Identity and vision’; fourth ‘Set a target’; fifth ‘Decision landscapes’; sixth ‘A collective proposition’; and seventh ‘Communicate your work’. Two other modules supplement the course: a ‘Welcome and introduction to the course’ provides the necessary contextualisation at the beginning of the course, and at the end we also offer an extra module about visual note taking, a specific tool that has been present in our work with the cities.
Programme
Each module ends with an exercise that prompts learners to adapt and apply these methods to a chosen real life scenario and by producing materials contextualised to it. Combined these outputs form a case study proposal using co-design.
