Co-production Journey for Tower Hamlets Connect.

THT Co-production Workshop Event 1 Presentation from Shahid Islam talks about coproducing a coproduction strategy.

How do we ‘do’ effective co-production? We used appreciative inquiry to focus on existing assets and spoke to nearly 100 community members and stakeholders in Bradford and Tower Hamlets. In this strategy we draw on the key findings from our appreciative inquiry and offer important values, principles and directions on how to deliver effective co-production for the ActEarly programme.

The THT Board endorsed the goal to embed the toolkit across the system within one year in the first instance, by identifying specific campaigns and projects where it can be rolled out, supported and documented to evidence impact –with a report back in December 2023.
