It was even more useful to learn how participatory writing visions can be. We took 30 minutes for the exercise. A small group volunteered to take this work forward to establish a shared vision we can then use to guide us to more collaboration in the coming months. For me, writing a vision was empowering, exciting, and useful.

In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”. To get people in the mindset for brainstorming, I lead them through a couple of improvisation exercises that teach acceptance and openness to new ideas. Participants were encouraged to focus on quantity of ideas and not to self-edit.

After several months of planning massively collaborative programs (a typical monthly event might involve 50 partners), we've realized that the people who are best at helping us come up with ideas are not necessarily the people who are best to help us execute them. Moving from community needs out to possible projects/collaborators.

I had lots of creative formats for drawing people out, sharing stories, and working collaboratively. Here are my three big takeaways from The Art of Gathering : Hosting is an exercise in courageous leadership. My expertise was on inviting strangers to participate in public settings like museums.

As I imagined a world without Nina Simon ’s Participatory Museum , I felt sad about all the visitors whose voices (and post-it note comments) weren’t honored. And, well, the whole exercise was depressing. Giant collaborative tweetups show we like to work together. The last decade has offered us enormous growth in the field.

On Sunday April 5, I’ll be conducting a collaborative experiment with 15 intrepid University of Washington graduate students, and I’d like to invite you to join in from your own hometown. To kick off the course, we’re doing a simple exercise at the Seattle zoo (but you can do it anywhere). Get two strangers talking to each other.

These systems use forms of collaborative filtering to analyze what you've liked and find things that might be similar based on both expert and user data. This is an undoubtably silly exercise. Tags: personalization participatory museum Unusual Projects and Influences.

On Day 3, Mary Joyce will lead a workshop on digital activism using the Story of Electronics , an environmental-themed short film, as a case study and jumping off point for a workshop exercise to create a digital campaign. It is a collaborative way of working. 2) Networks are participatory. It is about sharing.

Almost every part of each weekend, from the ceremonies (open guided discussion) to the meals (homemade) was participatory. Instead, I think we uncovered one of the secrets to creating successful participatory experiences: people like to feel useful. The same dynamic plays out when it comes to participatory museum experiences.

Ushahidi’s board , like its staff , work together virtually across many time zones using different online tools for meetings and collaborative work. I favor a participatory approach with full room discussion. I had a wireless mic that was passed and included share pairs with reflective exercises.
