I'm finding myself really enjoying fundraising because it is fundamentally about inspiring people to participate--and to do so in a way that is significant both for the organization and for themselves. As a designer, I'm always trying to ensure that participatory activities, however casual, impact both the participant and the organization.

According to Frumkin (2002), nonprofit organizations are “ideal vehicles for foraging networks of weak ties that link people together.” Understanding the benefits of building social capital may be effective in creating a participatory culture. Putnam (1994) further illustrates the link between engagement and social capital.

Over the past year, I've noticed a strange trend in the calls I receive about upcoming participatory museum projects: the majority of them are being planned for teen audiences. Why are teens over-represented in participatory projects? The other three are cultural, and I'm not sure how accurate they are.

The people who are part of a specific community are the experts in that field, and they should be part of the creative process, not just used to “run ideas by,” or as focus groups when we conduct user-testing. The idea of including stakeholders in the process is often referred to as co-designing, or participatory design.
