Co-design
One of the pillars that meSch is built on is co-design. It means that all our prototypes
and exhibitions were developed in cooperation between designers, cultural heritage professionals, technical personnel
and future users. Co-design, for us, means brining together a broad range of different stakeholders and expertise
to join forces in crating new interactive experiences for museum visitors that bridge the span between the physical
and digital realm.
Why co-design?
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.
Experiences, guidelines and templates
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 workshops and methods, accompanied by examples of how they
were implemented in our practice. Take advantage of these proofed methods and start your own co-design workshops
today!

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 replicate the method.
This website was design to complement the meSch co-design booklet that is available for download here.
