What can co-design contribute to Social Work with groups?

Abstract

In this article, we present the basic features of co-design methodology and its application to group dynamics with the aim of broadening the theoretical debate in the field of social work with groups. In both self-help and goal-oriented groups, the group design and communication dynamics that emerge from within it are key elements to ensure their correct functioning and effectiveness. To this end, we propose ten recommendations for implementing co-design that could be useful in direct social work practice.
