As we embrace datamaking and take on a more active role in this work, examining our own assumptions about these myths helps us to be prepared to work within or around any challenging power dynamics.

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."

The GEO community is united by a common drive to challenge the norm in pursuit of better results. One of the biggest lessons it learned was the need to set sharp and clear goals at the start. Goal setting is often rushed. Measurement springs from many different motivations. Are you measuring to test a hypothesis?

There's a constant dialogue in participatory work about how to make peoples' contributions meaningful.

We can change that by embracing participatory culture and opening up to the active, social ways that people engage with art, history, science, and ideas today.

One of the challenges of developing an issue system is to build participants’ identity with it; this is critical to creating effective action to realize opportunities, address needs and respond to challenges. Key is a participatory development process. A core concept in systems mapping is “purpose”.
