dc.description.abstract	In this paper, we reflect on a collaborative design research process involving 46 diverse participants, including citizen, community, council and commercial representatives to co-design an alternative approach to ‘The Circular Economy’ in the settler-colonial Australian context. Through two workshops that drew on Transition Design and Frame Creation methodologies, participants explored how circular economies could be citizen-led and envisioned a reframing of circularity as ‘Caring for Country’—a reframing that may also allow ‘The Circular Economy’ to play a part in ongoing efforts at decolonisation. Input from participants was synthesised to design a co-creative approach and a series of community hub prototypes that support citizens and communities in becoming stewards of their bioregions, caretakers of each other and custodians of their material objects. Our co-design process demonstrated the importance of involving the everyday lives and social practices of people in the emergence of pluriversal circular economies, and how a First Nations-led reframing of circularity around Caring for Country creates the potential for a profound contribution to ‘Relational Repair’.

Abstract:

In this paper, we reflect on a collaborative design research process involving 46 diverse participants, including citizen, community, council and commercial representatives to co-design an alternative approach to ‘The Circular Economy’ in the settler-colonial Australian context. Through two workshops that drew on Transition Design and Frame Creation methodologies, participants explored how circular economies could be citizen-led and envisioned a reframing of circularity as ‘Caring for Country’—a reframing that may also allow ‘The Circular Economy’ to play a part in ongoing efforts at decolonisation. Input from participants was synthesised to design a co-creative approach and a series of community hub prototypes that support citizens and communities in becoming stewards of their bioregions, caretakers of each other and custodians of their material objects. Our co-design process demonstrated the importance of involving the everyday lives and social practices of people in the emergence of pluriversal circular economies, and how a First Nations-led reframing of circularity around Caring for Country creates the potential for a profound contribution to ‘Relational Repair’.
