Through real-world case studies, we’ll explore the opportunities and challenges of inclusive co-design — from unlocking community-driven innovation and enhancing cultural relevance, to navigating language barriers, varying digital literacy, and systemic constraints. You’ll: · Learn practical strategies for engaging diverse voices in design · Collaborate on design solutions to real-world mental health scenarios · Build skills you can apply directly in your public health practice · Gain fresh perspectives on advancing equity through digital health innovation Whether you’re seeking to enhance your toolkit, connect with peers, or tackle the complexities of inclusive design, this workshop will equip you with practical experience and actionable insights to make a meaningful impact.
