National education organizations and individual teachers are developing relevant curriculum resources, including the #FergusonSyllabus project initiated by Dr. Marcia Chatelain. Is there equity and diversity in your policy and practice regarding staff, volunteers, and Board members? Do you have volunteers?

This post shares her reflections on the project, its design, and its impact. It was me, a handful of occasional volunteers, some very kind local business partners and a city full of participants. A series of projects were announced, serving as calls for participation, which were open to all Denver area residents.

Networks, groups, applications, conversations, meet-ups, T-shirts, donations, volunteer events and political actions receive community wide support and in many cases are created by the community itself. Patience and consistent efforts, showing results over projects, over periods of time, and most importantly, with newly engaged stakeholders.

The 2009 N2Y4 Conference showcased the Featured Projects from NetSquared's Global Challenge focused on mobile technology. There were 14 great teams pitching their Projects at the Conference, but only 3 voted as prize winners. There were many excellent ideas (check out the Project Gallery !)

At this conference in 2005, the backchannel was projected on the screen behind the speaker. Ask a friend or colleague, or a volunteer from the audience to monitor the back channel and interrupt you if there are any questions or comments that need to be addressed. Tags: backchannel.

Our favorite pair, a father and daughter on a visit for the daughter's school project, were unsure of what to recommend to us when we first met them. Interestingly, this included two young employees/volunteers. Tags: design participatory museum usercontent. Most people enjoyed talking to us. What would you do?

While this post is not about museums, it tells the story of how a performance group developed participatory elements as an integral part of their show. We see the stage as a safe place for taking some participatory risks—we handpick volunteers who come up to dance and compete, and their terror, fame, and hijinks only last a few minutes.

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. This post covers my personal process of encouraging--and harnessing--participation in the creation of The Participatory Museum. I couldn't drop the project for months or abandon it entirely. Check out the other parts here. But that didn't matter.

The creators of this project recognized an essential civic value of libraries as civil, safe places and capitalized on that value to make a risky proposition to users. A museum tour in which a docent "tours" you to a variety of volunteer artists who talk about how they create their work. well, you know.

I was the project manager/curator for the exhibition, leading both the Second Life-based community exhibit design process and the real world translation of virtual exhibits. That's ok for a community project, but very frustrating (and for some, blatantly dishonest) in a contest. Level the playing field or tip it in their favor.

Surveys, interviews, tracking studies, and exhibit evaluations are often isolated events, and the information gleaned is specific to particular projects. No one is going to volunteer advice to the museum if they don't think it will be used. Tags: Book Discussion: Groundswell marketing participatory museum.

When you see a set of larger than life drawings of Arnold Schwarzenegger in a record store (image), or a mist and projection installation in a loading dock, how do you interpret the experience? Volunteers, venue staff, and security guards also cheerfully offered up their own preferences and interpretations. This bore out at Artprize.

You can explore the project wiki where we coordinated the exhibit, including the project overview , our six-week plan to get it all done, and individual sections for development of concept , content , interaction , graphics , marketing , fabrication , installation , and evaluation. But the exhibit team did something novel.

Left on my own, I put on my best cheerleader face and cultivated a couple volunteers to help manage a growing community of amateur exhibit designers. While my energy and enthusiasm as a community leader held the group together, once I left at the end of my project, the community fell apart. Why does this happen in the first place?

The NYC-based group Improv Everywhere conducts elaborate and somewhat uncomfortable public “scenes” (such as people streaming onto a subway car with no pants), fueled by volunteers who feel exhilarated by the opportunity to act strange in a socially supported, somewhat safe way.
