RESOURCE: Co-creation Schedules
In order to test out the design and organisation of the programme-level co-creation events, a short pilot was devised and implemented in April 2018. During the institution-wide co-creation events, four themes were identified and highlighted around the room via boards, with post-it notes and pens available for students and staff to capture their discussions and ideas related to each theme:
- Curriculum
- Environment
- Development
- Community and Belonging
A schedule was devised, to provide a structure for the sessions and equip the project team with prompts for students and staff.

RESOURCE: Co-Creation at DMU Guide
During her time working with the project as a Student Curriculum Advisor, Gabriella collaborated with fellow students and staff to create a guide to co-creation for DMU. The guide shares an overview of what we mean at DMU when we talk about co-creation, best practices examples from across campus and tips for getting started.
