Collaborations of universities with different stakeholders can extend students’ learning and result in capacity development among all the collaborators. The project described in this paper, SIDe, involved partners from the UK and Turkey who develop a mechanism together to effectively embed inclusive design and co-design in social design education. The knowledge production through normative inquiry and the experience of a shared equal voice among all the partners resulted in the SIDe Model, enabling collaborators to understand their unique contributions. The model was tested with students from four different disciplines at the Faculty of Architecture, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. This paper offers original insights into how normative inquiry can be realised in course design and project execution to drive inclusion in social design education; it also provides the improved design process model – the SIDe model - to facilitate potential wider adoption of the good practice.
