CoDA (CoDesign Abroad) facilitates immersive, collaborative and design-based projects around the globe between creatives (students and professionals), and underserved communities. We use a human-centered problem solving approach and design-thinking tools to capacity build within those communities. Join Us: CoDA trips provide designers, creatives and makers the opportunity to explore, experience, and learn about another culture, while sharing their skills in the field. We travel in small groups and our collaborative projects with local community are not only rewarding they are energizing and fun. Please see our website for details for our next trips and apply now. Create a custom trip and project: Talk to us about developing a personalized trip where you and your friends or colleagues can travel purposefully and share your skills in a meaningful way. CoDA works to provide unique and rewarding experiences for individuals and groups to hone their design process or learn design thinking for the first time. All one needs is a willingness to: collaborate, try new things, get your hands dirty and work with heart. Become a partner: The work we do with communities extends beyond our trips. We are looking for funding partners to facilitate the behind-the-scenes work that support an international development initiative or builds learning experiences within Canada. There are no shortage of great projects or innovative ways to involve your business.
