Co-designing an innovation hub to help disadvantaged young people gain independence

We used a human-centred design approach to gain insight into needs and aspirations

Nous and Marist180’s Social Innovation team used a human-centred design approach to gain insight into the needs and aspirations of the young people with whom Marist180 seeks to work with, and developed ideas and designs for potential services to support them. We:

• co-facilitated a workshop to build the research toolkit
• provided support during the customer research phase
• defined insights to facilitating a co-design workshop with young people from the Blacktown skills development centre.

We equipped Marist180 with skills to design services to empower young people

Nous’ partnership with Marist180 developed the organisation’s skills to problem-solve through a human-centred design approach. It also equipped the Social Innovation team with concepts to explore and design in more detail to empower socially and economically disadvantaged people to develop their enterprise skills.
