This digital artefact is a structured workshop resource designed to support staff in co-creating curriculum using design-thinking approaches. It provides a step-by-step facilitation guide, including planning materials, activity prompts, and practical tools such as learner persona development, Think–Feel–Do–Need mapping, and collaborative problem-definition exercises. The resource is informed by the development of the Events and Enterprise in Education module within Initial Teacher Education and demonstrates how student voice can be meaningfully embedded within curriculum design. It supports staff in identifying learner needs, skills gaps, and professional aspirations, and translating these insights into authentic, student-centred learning experiences. Designed for adaptability, the workshop can be used across disciplines and educational contexts to support curriculum development, module review, or programme enhancement activity. It is particularly relevant for educators seeking to embed co-creation, experiential learning, and professional relevance within their teaching. The artefact also supports staff development by modelling inclusive, collaborative approaches to curriculum design and providing a practical framework that can be repurposed for team-based enhancement activities, staff development sessions, or institutional initiatives focused on learning and teaching enhancement.
