Museum 2.0

MARCH 4, 2015

This week marks five years since the book The Participatory Museum was first released. I thought the pinnacle of participatory practice was an exhibit that could inspire collective visitor action without facilitation. But almost ALL of those opportunities are facilitated by people. Humans empower each other.

By creating opportunities for engagement, the nonprofit sector is responsible for building cohesion and social capital. Putnam (1994) further illustrates the link between engagement and social capital. Understanding the benefits of building social capital may be effective in creating a participatory culture.

Like many museum and library professionals, I am enamored of the idea of cultural institutions as “third places” – public venues for informal, peaceable, social engagement outside of home or work. Regulars play an essential function in managing the social life of third places. Facebook discussion board here.

Specifically, we analyze the relative social behavior of people on buses versus those on trains, and look for clues as to what design elements contribute to different kinds of participatory behavior. In my highly anecdotal research, the bus is a more social space than the train or subway. The driver provides live facilitation.

The new social tools that we are here to discuss are not so new anymore. See, the mark of a great social media effort is when the community itself owns it. The classic mistake of organizations is to apply the very old publishing content and messages approach to the not so new social media. Both posts influenced this speech.

Part of this is practical: you can''t facilitate making and tinkering for 30 kids if you have to hand them everything they need.

So then we’ll talk about what are some participatory planning methods. Sometimes, you have too many ideas so you need a strong facilitator who can make sure we hear from everyone, but are able to put these ideas through a funnel and find those common threads. How do we do this well? That was one really fun example. .
