    This toolkit is spread across three documents to ensure it is easy to use and navigate. You will need all three sections to complete the design process.

    1. Step 1: The page you are currently reading is Step 1 of the toolkit. It contains the tools you will need to get you started, and should be used if you:
      • have not already done Human Centred Design (HCD) training
      • would like to know more of the theory underpinning the tools and activities in Step 2
      • want to build your skills as a facilitator.

Unit One in this document is an introduction to HCD, while Unit Two provides helpful tools and information about being a successful facilitator.
    2. Step 2: Start with Step 2 if you are working with communities and do not need to conduct HCD training.

Note: You do not have to go through every single activity in the toolkit if you or your participants do not have time. You can adjust the flow and content of the sessions depending on the participants in your workshop, their availability and capability. You will find sample agendas in Part 3 to help you plan your activities.
    3. Step 3: The final part of the toolkit provides links to other helpful resources (including links to additional toolkits recommended to complete Key Actions 1 & 2), as well as a collection of print-ready templates which can be used for the activities in Step 2.
