Collaboration and co-design with communities

As part of the Community Champions Programme, we want to give a wide range of stakeholders the opportunity to learn from best practice. This session is the fifteenth webinar in a series hosted by the Department of Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLUHC).

In the session you will hear examples and case studies from local work. The session will focus on collaboration and co-design with communities. Cambridge City Council will host a presentation on how community engagement has been the root of success for their project, working collaboratively with VCS partners to co-produce a community driven response. Cambs Youth Panel will present on their innovative digital driven approach to engaging with young people. Leeds City Council will host a presentation on their Community Champion approach in Leeds this year, what they’ve learned and case studies of local activity.

In this session, you will hear from speakers from Cambridge City Council and Leeds City Council.
