Case study reports effective co-creation strategies in social innovation, indicating gaps in practical application.
The study reported here investigates Strategic Design in Social Innovation, based on a master's project carried out with the Vila Torres Mothers' Club in Curitiba/PR. The aim of this article is to present the results of the work in organizing the club's future projects. Through a case study, the process of co-creation with the participants is described and analyzed, in which four design tools were used, requiring the active involvement of stakeholders in solving the problem identified. The results indicate that design, through the application of the tools, was able to be effective in helping to structure the projects that are still to come. However, gaps were also identified between the theory and practice of the study, especially with regard to the adaptations made along the way to cover the debate on productive autonomy and the importance of this for the women of the Club.
