Combining Mass Civic Participation and Futures Thinking to Facilitate Meaningful Co-Design of a New 10-Year National Strategy for Volunteering Recognised in Australia’s International Good Design Awards for Excellence in Design and Innovation.
Volunteering Australia is delighted the National Strategy for Volunteering has been recognised in Australia’s International Good Design Awards for Excellence in Design and Innovation.
The National Strategy for Volunteering was the culmination of a 12-month co-design process and is a testament to the power of genuine collaboration towards a common goal and Australia’s enduring devotion to volunteering.
Working with ThinkPlace we combined mass civic participation and futures thinking to facilitate meaningful co-design. The process was deeply participatory and aimed to empower individuals and organisations to guide the development of the National Strategy for Volunteering.
“Congratulations on this incredible design. The project is a brilliant example of systems-level design work, and the Jury is excited to see its impact evolve over time. Well done!”
