Format:
Web application
Target population:
Local administrations and citizen associations
Objetive:

Provide a wide range of co-creation tools, ordered according to objectives, format, time of application or number of people involved.

Methodology:

The UNaLab toolkit compiles a total of 75 co-creation tools.

It presents them in an accessible format and is focused on their application.

The most appropriate tool can be sought by category (experimentation, ideation, strategy, need finding, feedback, etc.), format (game, template, workshop, etc.), implementation time (< 1 h, 1-2 h, longer) and the group of people with whom you will work (< 6 people, 6-15 people, > 15 people).

Each tool includes a description of the steps to follow, some comments on its benefits and some recommendations for its application.

Opportunities and limitations:

It allows you to choose from a wide variety of tools, according to the objectives, preferences, and resources available for the project.

Co-creation processes have the potential to sensitize and raise awareness among the population on certain issues, and to make the community’s preferences visible to government bodies.

The toolkit can increase perceptions of influence over the environment and empower the community. It has other impacts, all associated with better health.

Indicators:
Number of agents/local administrations involved.
Perception and autonomy of people in the neighbourhood.
