Durham Community Action and the Rural Design Centre are continuing to explore how to support the development of Community Research Networks in County Durham.  We are pleased to introduce a series of practical workshops to build skills and knowledge amongst VCS organisations who want to develop further insight into community research.

This final session will give us an overview of design thinking, a method to discover, develop and deliver new innovations with communities and their services. It will be practical and provide participants with an opportunity to explore specifically through examples how adopting a design-led research approach can transform lives. The workshop will be facilitated by Nick Devitt, Head of Design at the Rural Design Centre
