Who else is going to the #LegalDesignSummit? Our director is speaking about designing with not for people. Given the failures of international law, the #LegalDesign movement's aim to improve access to law, its relevance, and to humanise law couldn't be more urgent.

@lohst young co-producers shaped every aspect of their stories, centring suffering AND their agency, meaning it was less likely to create: re-traumatisation stereotyped stories empathic overwhelm for viewers #RefugeeWeek Idea 2 #CompassionIntoAction @ShpresaPrograme

We began asking: 1. What are our individual & collective intentions, assets & learning opps? 2. How can we make conflict, power & decision-making transparent? 3. What are our values? 🛠️ @Elrha Participation For Humanitarian Innovation Toolkit #RefugeeWeek #CompassionIntoAction

For #RefugeeWeek we're sharing 💛Compassionate Storytelling Ideas For #CoProduction💛 To start...here are the words of the young people seeking #asylum @ShpresaPrograme @LohstP we made the #LivesOnHoldOurStoriesTold film with #WelcomeStudios Idea 1: compassionate intentionality

‘Making current consent materials culturally responsive can be challenging & burdensome for researchers, particularly where time & resources are limited. It raises the question of whether standard consenting materials & approaches enable good practice, or act as a barrier?’ So…

Can comics with, by and for young people about #mentalhealth reach people least likely to access services? Take a sneak peak at our comic in #coproduction with @lmurraysmith @hannagwynn funded by @maudsleycharity #mentalhealthawarenessweek2023 #CreativityandWellbeingWeek

What happens when young people co-produce comics-based research with a school, artist & researcher? #coproduction with @Cheeroodraws @maudsleycharity @lmurraysmith @MaudsleyNHS sneak peek 👀 for #CreativityandWellbeingWeek #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

‘arts and humanities can be the key that unlocks improvements in our health and social care…the creative method is at the centre of community coproduction…that catalysing force’ @JaiGupte 👏 Inspiring #wellbeing research showcase @ahrcpress @SASNews
