This participatory event is offering two days of focused discussion about—how these networks, and the capabilities that power them, can be effectively leveraged to create greater impact. Plus it is always a pleasure for me to observe “Gunner’s&# facilitation techniques (I learn so much).

This project wove together many different participatory threads. The facilitation was as chaotic and fragile as a spiderweb. The lessons I learned from Lost Childhoods are at the heart of the OF/BY/FOR ALL project we're building now. Short story: we learned a lot. We wrote a toolkit about our process. What did we learn?

The Art of Participation provides a retrospective on participatory art as well as presenting opportunities for visitors to engage in contemporary (“now”) works. If the participatory instructions were integrated into the standard black labels, visitors would not be as aware of the commonalities across the interactive art pieces.

Posts under that tag tend to examine non-museum things, from malls to games to ad campaigns , and draw some design lessons for museums from their foreignness. The driver provides live facilitation. I've written before about the power of live facilitators. Today, we look at a familiar thing: urban mass transit.

I remember her community of clocks project -- she facilitated content creation from schools around the world on the theme of clocks. These projects were done nearly ten years ago, but they presage what the social web, participatory media. Susan was doing these amazing collaborative, user-generated content projects over the Internet.

Her post was based off of the Brains of Fire Manifesto, “ 10 Lessons Learned in Igniting Word of Mouth Movements.” Our job as organizational communicators lies in trying to facilitate a larger conversation by providing the means for people to share, perhaps initiate conversations, and highlight the great work and thoughts of others.

It also means that I can't stubbornly soldier on with a lesson plan if it is bombing. One thing I learned many years ago, is that as an instructor you have to be in the moment, focus on your learners more than yourself, and don't be afraid to flush your lesson plan down the toilet if it isn't working.

Here are my top ten lessons from The Tech Virtual experiment with regard to design exhibits with a community of amateurs.

I first learned about this technique from Sam Kaner''s excellent book, Facilitator''s Guide to Participatory Decision-Making. Tag Team the Facilitation. And if you want a more efficient approach to multi-vocal facilitation, try an unconference.

So then we’ll talk about what are some participatory planning methods. I’ll share some lessons as we go, experiences that I’ve had, and how to also manage different stakeholders and people. That facilitator has to be able to manage many different personalities, the different cultures, different experiences.

Facilitated/Unfacilitated Blend When we started this course, I really pushed the students to think about ways to induce unfacilitated interactions among strangers. I love facilitated experiences, but I worry that they aren't scalable to every visitor. This is a good lesson for museum talk-back design.

Less a conference than a facilitated retreat, the 2016 gathering will encourage the active and full engagement of all participants. Through inspiring keynotes, innovative talks, educational breakouts, hands-on lessons, and tons of networking, you will learn how the INBOUND experience, and especially our content, is truly remarkable.
