meSch has put together a resource based on our own experiences with running co-design workshops. The resource will help you to run your own co-design workshops and get the best possible results. You will find templates for co-design methods, accompanied by examples of how they were implemented in our practice.

Why should you involve others or create multidisciplinary teams when planning for new exhibitions and the interactive exhibits involved? Simple: because all the different expertises and points of view complement each other and guarantee the best possible outcome for all parties involved, especially for your visitors. Take advantage of these proofed methods and start your own co-design workshops today! Above you'll find four case studies to inspire you! Co-design is one of the pillars that meSch is built on. All our prototypes and exhibitions were developed in cooperation between designers, cultural heritage professionals, technical personnel and future users. Co-design, for us, means bringing together a broad range of different stakeholders and expertise to join forces in creating new interactive experiences for museum visitors that bridge the physical and digital realm.

This website contains detailed descriptions of the co-design methods as used throughout the meSch project and the accompanying glossary contains definitions associated with each of the methods. Each method includes a downloadable sheet, containing information as to how one could use the method. This website was designed to complement the meSch co-design booklet that is available for download here.
