Module 4 – Inclusive Design and Innovation
IN THIS LESSON
Human-centred design requires more than simply asking people what they think about a solution. It means immersing yourself in the problem space and involving the people affected as active participants in the design process.

How could you immerse yourself more deeply in the context of the problem you are addressing?
How could the people affected by the problem participate in shaping your solution?
What would designing with, rather than for, your community look like in practice?
