The Women and Rivers Storytelling Platform has six activity areas that are being undertaken, and the first three stages are underway/complete. 

Figure 4: Six stages of co-design

The following three stages will complete the co-design process: the development and distribution of an initial public report, based on the feedback from this report; focus groups; and the development of a final report. 

Each of these steps is described briefly below.

INITIAL PUBLIC CO-DESIGN REPORT

Based on the feedback and discussion from key project partners based on this report and the presentation on 8 July, an initial project report will be circulated to the 53 informants and through other mechanisms as determined by the project partners. 

FOCUS GROUPS

Focus group sessions will be conducted in July to cover some of the key points raised in this initial findings report and to discuss perspectives on key themes and topics identified, including but not limited to:

• ‘Share’
• ‘Learn’
• ‘Connect’

For each of these three focus groups, the following would be explored:

• General feedback and input
• Creating a ‘safe space’ – what does this mean and how does it look like in technology?
• Fun and engagement – how to bring this into the elements?
• Consolidation of project partners and other stakeholders
• Identifying priority features
• Delineating how to use existing technology and where a new platform is needed
  

FINAL REPORT

The final report will take into account feedback on the initial public report and through the focus groups.
