Health Cascade researchers Lauren McCaffrey and Mira Vogelsang located at Glasgow Caledonian University, are focusing on co-creation in the context of the workplace and have successfully conducted their first co-creation process with a Glaswegian SME as part of their research. The process consisted of 8 workshops that resulted in many co-created actions ready to take off in the New Year.
Mira Vogelsang: “It was a wonderful and engaging process filled with humour that the co-creators took on with full force. This was evident from e.g., their keen interest in learning more about sedentary behaviour to their immediate progress in implementing the actions developed.”

In January Lauren completed the individual in-person interviews with each of the co-creators where they explored their experience of the co-creation process. Overall, the co-creators’ experiences’ were very positive, with many describing the process as ‘interesting’, ‘fun’ and ‘useful’.
Lauren McCaffrey: “The individual interviews were a great way to have the co-creators voice their experience of the process and it was a nice way to conclude my time spent working with this fantastic group of people.”
