Narrative

Ketso is a hands-on toolkit, developed through University of Manchester research, to improve stakeholder participation and ensure that more diverse perspectives are considered in service design and delivery. It achieves this goal by integrating pedagogical principles into tactile and colourful materials to organise participants’ contributions in workshops. Ketso is used by multiple public and third sector organisations, extending beyond planning into new domains such as healthcare, community development, education and business. Since 2013, the number of organisations using Ketso has increased by 325 (to 625 in total), with 1,690 toolkits (2,220 total) supporting 34,500 workshop participants (42,500 total) in an additional 50 countries (77 total).
