Co-Design Workshop Facilitation Kit (PDF + Miro Templates)

The Co-Design Workshop Facilitation Kit is a structured, practitioner-oriented resource comprising a PDF guide and interactive Miro templates designed to support inclusive, participatory co-design processes—particularly in the context of mining projects seeking social license to operate. It integrates facilitation frameworks, equity-centered design methods, and stakeholder engagement protocols to enable meaningful collaboration between industry, communities, Indigenous groups, regulators, and civil society. The kit emphasizes power-aware facilitation, iterative prototyping, and documentation of shared outcomes to build trust and legitimacy.

📖 Overview

The Co-Design Workshop Facilitation Kit operationalizes principles of social license engineering by translating abstract ethical and procedural commitments into concrete, repeatable workshop practices. At its core, it recognizes that social license is not granted once but continuously co-produced through transparent, respectful, and adaptive dialogue—and that effective co-design requires more than participation: it demands intentional scaffolding for diverse voices, especially those historically excluded from technical decision-making. The PDF component provides step-by-step facilitator guidance—including pre-workshop preparation (e.g., stakeholder mapping, power analysis, cultural protocol alignment), real-time moderation techniques (e.g., timekeeping with equity pauses, consensus-building heuristics), and post-workshop synthesis protocols (e.g., affinity diagramming, commitment tracking). The Miro templates complement this with digital canvases pre-configured for specific co-design phases: contextual framing (e.g., 'Shared Values & Concerns' board), solution ideation (e.g., 'Constraint-Aware Prototyping Grid'), and accountability mapping (e.g., 'Who Does What By When' timeline with RACI overlays). Critically, the kit embeds decolonial design sensibilities—such as land-based grounding exercises, oral storytelling prompts, and non-hierarchical idea clustering—ensuring methodologies align with place-specific epistemologies and relational accountability.

📑 Key Components

🎯 Applications

  • Designing community-informed mine closure plans
  • Co-developing environmental monitoring partnerships with Indigenous knowledge holders
  • Prototyping shared infrastructure agreements (e.g., water stewardship, skills training pathways)

📐 Key Formulas

Social License Readiness Index (SLRI)

SLRI = Σ(w_i × S_i) / Σw_i, where S_i ∈ [0,1] represents stakeholder group i's perceived legitimacy score and w_i reflects their relative influence weight

A weighted metric estimating project-level social license maturity across key constituencies; used pre- and post-workshop to benchmark co-design impact

Participation Equity Ratio (PER)

PER = (Minutes_Spoken_by_Marginalized_Groups / Total_Spoken_Minutes) / (Proportion_of_Marginalized_Groups_in_Room)

Quantifies representational fairness in verbal participation during workshops; target PER ≥ 0.9 indicates equitable voice distribution
