Co-designing with community results in accessible and culturally relevant engagement opportunities as well as more equitable outcomes for historically excluded communities. IAP2 Core Values emphasize the importance of seeking input from participants in designing how they participate in engagement processes. Beyond seeking input, what does it look like to co-design an engagement process with community? Bozeman, MT and Boulder, CO share examples, experiences, and the elements of co-design when engaging the community to advance equity. 

In this interactive session, participants will: 

• Hear and share tangible examples of co-designed community engagement processes

• Be able to articulate the elements of co-design

• Be able to identify and scope processes or projects that are a good fit for co-design

• Draft a Participant Action Plan to identify tangible next steps for planning and implementing in their own communities
