Explore co-production and its approaches - 11 November

Meaningful Change
A one-day event to explore co-production and its approaches in North Wales
11 November 2016
Glasdir, Llanrwst

In a challenging economic climate for public services, we need to think differently about how we support communities and strengthen the capacity of voluntary sector organisations.
Co-Production is a proven and successful approach that places people at the heart of public service design and implementation.

Join Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA), Co-Production N etwork for Wales andSpice Innovations for an informative and participatory day, designed to develop your understanding of co-production and its application in public services. The final programme will include workshops in relation to the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, the growth of the Co-Production Network in North Wales and the use of Spice Time Credits as a tool for citizen engagement.

This free event will bring together professionals from health, social care, local government, education, tackling poverty, substance misuse and older people's services, as well as third sector organisations, activists and co-production practitioners.

Spaces for the event will be limited, so register your interest in a place here
