In this modern age, however, we have the remarkable ability to reach likeminded people anywhere in the world with internet access. Cultures have always been participatory, long before the Internet, with roots in democratic process, collective decision making, and cooperation for survival.

Stakeholder involvement will drastically improve the final plan and create a culture of participatory decision-making. Even the people who benefit from the organization’s mission can provide valuable input on the strategic plan. There is no benefit to discounting any individual or group from participating in the planning process.

MuseumCamp is a playful, intense, spirited 3-day adventure in which small teams of diverse professionals do a rapid-fire project together on a theme. Breaks are good for people to settle in with the people they already know.

Which of these descriptions exemplifies participatory museum practice? But the difference between the two examples teases out a problem in differentiating "participatory design" from "design for participation." In the first case, you are making the design process participatory. In the second, you make the product participatory.

When we talk about making museums or performing arts organizations more participatory and dynamic, those changes are often seen as threatening to the traditional arts experience. What if historic arts experiences were actually a lot more participatory? From the Ancient Greeks through the 1800s, audiences were rowdy, engaged people.

The book is intended to be a practical guide to participatory museum experiences focused on design strategies, case studies, and activities. The WHY of participatory design is really important. And there’s a third reason.

Many people would look at the world''s oldest mechanized silk mill and say that the core content of the museum is silk. A strong participatory process is not a loosey-goosey, open the doors and do whatever strategy. Imagine a historic site.

Telling great stories helps your non-profit get its message out into the world, connect with new audiences and motivate people to take action like making a donation. But so many non-profit professionals get discouraged by storytelling because they think it’s going to require the unparalleled writing skills of a Pulitzer Prize winner.

We are asked to contain those people and make sure they do what we want, and also ensure only the “good” ideas are accepted. People are writing their own stories and ideas about our cause rather than us publishing content.
