Understanding the benefits of building social capital may be effective in creating a participatory culture. In addition to encouraging collaboration and shared purpose, nonprofit organizations should ultimately aim to achieve sustained engagement and a participatory culture (Atlee, 2009).

As a person who works for a science museum, I work in an environment that supports play. But at my museum , the support doesn''t stop at our visitors. I wholeheartedly believe it has the power to advance science (and art and cultural heritage) through the power of play.

When basketball players are offering more cogent commentary on racial issues than cultural institutions, you know we have a cultural relevance problem. Museums are a part of this educational and cultural network. What should be our role(s)? Can we be as brave and direct as these young women? Things must change.

For years, I'd give talks about community participation in museums and cultural institutions, and I'd always get the inevitable question: "but what value does this really have when it comes to dollars and cents?" We're hearing on a daily basis that the museum has a new role in peoples' lives and in the identity of the county.

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.

What does the word "participatory" mean to you? The various definitions of participatory projects can lead to confusion and misunderstandings. In the co-option model, the institution turns over a portion of its facilities and resources to support programs developed and implemented by external public groups.

This sense of complicity is reinforced and supported by the fact that people obey the rules of the line and don't push past each other. How can cultural professionals encourage feelings of complicity among visitors to our institutions? When we encourage complicity in cultural institutions, we encourage shared play and learning.

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'.

It is open, participatory, and peer-driven. Instead of donating via a big institution like United Way that parcels out money on donors’ behalf, people can support a specific family in a specific place affected by a specific problem. Once gained, it is jealously guarded, and the powerful have a substantial store of it to spend.
