Setting Up Co-Designers to Facilitate Interviews
A design team collaborates with community members (co-designers) to prepare them to independently conduct interviews within their own communities. The team develops a facilitation guide, refines it with co-designer feedback, supports their recruitment and logistics, and holds weekly debriefs to analyze findings and refine the guide.
