Within the SISCODE project, Ecsite developed an online training course on co-creation. Targeted to policymakers, the MOOC can be useful for anyone interested in design-thinking processes.

The MOOC has been launched in March 2021 and is now available on two platforms:

• PoK: Polimi Open Knowledge
• EU-Academy

In the document attached, you will be able to find the direct links to the different elements.

“Co-creation” and “co-design” are buzzwords that you might have encountered before. But, what do they mean exactly? And most importantly, what do they entail, in the context of policymaking? You will discover that establishing a true and relevant citizen engagement might not be as difficult as you think! You can easily get the basic knowledge you need to explore new ways of collaborating directly with citizens to bridge the gap between society, science and innovation.
By joining the course “Co-creation for policymakers: an introductory course”, you will step into the world of innovation for policymaking. Hear about success stories where involving citizens from the very beginning of the process has made possible the development of effective and meaningful solutions to relevant societal problems. Within five weeks, our experts will guide you through the different steps of co-creation methodologies, and share with you their perspective on the future of public administrations.
