Description
Since joining Greater Good Studio (GGS) several years ago, Kareeshma Ali has been trying to clarify the role that community engagement plays, particularly in the context of built environment design and community development. Often, community engagement processes are standardized and viewed as a box to be checked.
This webinar will explore what it looks like when community engagement is intentionally designed to be a process that not only informs a final outcome and leads to change, but is a value in and of itself. When these things are true, community engagement becomes both a means and an end.
Participants can expect to take away:
Insights into both traditional design firms and social impact design consultancies
- An understanding of human-centered design
Human-centered design research methodologies and engagement strategies
- Approaches and recommendations for those providing community engagement services remotely
Considerations to best elevate the voices of local residents and populations served through your work
Duration: 1 hour
