When you have worked in a field a long time (for me it has been over 3 decades), you have to keep an open mind about remembering and reflecting on what you have heard before — looking at as if it was new. Well Being is about self, others, and organizational culture.

Nina Simon, the executive director of the museum, is an expert in participatory design and fantastic facilitator. This is more a mind shift than anything else. It’s also a sign that the employee and the manager are not setting a good culture of work life balance. A mature employee knows how to manage up.

The idea of including stakeholders in the process is often referred to as co-designing, or participatory design. How could we encourage supporters to stay as engaged eating popcorn on their couches as they would in a banquet hall sipping cocktails? What would the structure be like? What about content? This all sounds great, in theory.

I''ve never worked in such a supportive, energized, active environment. We work hard to name and build our culture in many ways. Institutional culture is something I never really understood before and I am now completely fascinated by how it can shape work. Participatory work can be very labor-intensive.

In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”. It is a useful technique for creating a more responsive, flexible organizational culture as well as coming up with more innovative ideas for programs and grants that are a good fit. How do we leverage the “rain” of culture change?3.

Note from Beth: Lately, a question on my mind is whether or not the concept of Networked Nonprofits is a global one as I’ve had the opportunity to share some of the ideas beyond the US borders in Kenya and UK. I think Pratham Books , an NGO in India, is a networked nonprofit. Crossposted at the Creative Commons Weblog.

And I talked about some of the challenges of finding the right income and expense models for a museum that operates more like a community center than a traditional cultural institution. In particular, we had a great group of 15 talking about participatory history experiences on Sunday. Participatory art and co-creation on the rise.

Bob’s job is to set up and support “wired” schools and school districts. I was fascinated by our discussion, and Bob came to mind last month, when I was asked to write an article for the Association of Children's Museums quarterly journal, Hand to Hand , about children's museums and Web 2.0. Why the uniformity?

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. When I decided to write a book about visitor participation in cultural institutions, I knew I'd do it in a way that reflected the values behind the book itself--transparency, inclusion, and meaningful community participation. Check out the other parts here.

When you think of MySpace, what is the first thing that comes to mind? By the standard set by a culture that judges MySpace as dangerous, perhaps these in-person interactions are even MORE dangerous. I wanted to cheer, but the first thought in my mind was, "Are you crazy? The irritating design? Or is it the stalkers?

So I really want to encourage you to use the chat in a positive and supportive manner to ask for clarification, or add your thoughts or experience to what’s being shared. And so I, you know, want to hear from you because I know that whatever is on your mind, you’re able to add to the conversation. And lastly, energy. .

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Several artists offer surprising insights into making participatory projects appealing to visitors. Frequently, we get stuck on developing participatory projects or events that serve as many people as possible.

First thing in the morning here for me, I know it’s afternoon for you, but do you mind kind of reading the chat box as we go? So then we’ll talk about what are some participatory planning methods. That facilitator has to be able to manage many different personalities, the different cultures, different experiences.

Gladwell’s assertion that social movements are based on tight ties and online efforts on, say, Facebook, are participatory efforts based on loose ties is simply not true. Second, the relationship between weak and strong ties is one of complementarity and support, not one of opposition. Every day I see their faces in my feed.

It doesn't matter if you are creating a didactic diorama or a participatory smorgasborg if the experience is fundamentally about your desires rather than visitors'. First, I think we should support the proliferation of museum-based "I saw you's." Matchmakers have a mixed portrayal in our culture. But they do it with love.

I'm a strong believer in free-choice learning, and I see museums as places to circumvent the hazards of compulsory education and support a democratic, engaged society of learners. I didn't feel supported pursuing intrinsically motivated projects. There are many parallels between free-choice learning and participatory design.

The ideal of third places, that attracts we cultural heritage types, is a democratic space where civic life is built collaboratively and at a personal level. That's part of what so surprises me since, as you aptly described it, what LAMs really like is the idea of the democratic, civic-minded space. Eric: Unapologetically so.
