What does the word "participatory" mean to you? The various definitions of participatory projects can lead to confusion and misunderstandings. In this report, the authors describe three specific models for public participation: contribution, collaboration, and co-creation. This isn't just a rhetorical question.

Institutions like the Boston Children's Museum (which she helped lead in the 1970s) drew heavily from and worked in partnership with the "open classroom" movement to develop informal educational models that are interactive, open-ended, and individualized. Why haven't children's museums pushed past the 1970s model?

I'm incredibly proud of all the staff, trustees, volunteers, collaborators, visitors, and members who have made this happen. Our team focused this year on just three things: making the museum more comfortable, hosting new participatory events, and partnering wherever possible. They all have in concert, and they build on each other.

In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”. Participants voted on the questions that would be most important for the Brainerd Foundation to consider in its strategy: How might we adopt a hybrid model of new and old power? How do we leverage the “rain” of culture change?3.

Barry Hessenius recently wrote a blog post questioning the theory that more art into the school day will increase and bolster future adult audiences for art experiences. When we talk about what kinds of experiences create pathways to more arts participation as adults, we have to look in AND beyond school. Who their role models are.

The model for disseminating web content is evolving. Others went on to crown the achievements from the participatory public sphere that have arisen as a result of increased access to content. However, these traditional models are breaking apart. Traditional barriers between consumers and real-time information are falling.

It was even more useful to learn how participatory writing visions can be. In the Zingerman's model, visioning is for everyone at all levels of the organization. A SIMPLE WAY TO TRY IT This week, we experimented with visioning at my museum in an all-staff meeting. For me, writing a vision was empowering, exciting, and useful.

They designed a participatory project that delivers a compelling end product for onsite and online visitors… and they made some unexpected decisions along the way. Also, on a personal level, I had this really powerful experience with my mother in a Storycorps booth in Grand Central years ago that had a profound impact on me.

The response to Boyd's "On Being Virtual": Again, we have someone who has either not spent time in SL, or has had a bad experience and now wants to convince the world that SL has no value and no future. SL is not some new revolutionary model that has never been seen before. s no wonder she does not see SL as a next step.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Several artists offer surprising insights into making participatory projects appealing to visitors. Are you asking your collaborators to solve your problems or to help tease them out in new ways?

As I listened to her speak about their experience, I knew this would be a terrific case study to share in Beirut as an example of working in a networked way. Annie was kind enough to give me her notes so I could write this case study and hopefully, I’ve captured it correctly. It is a collaborative way of working.

While there are some criticisms of its consensus-based model for information-vetting, there's no doubt of its success as a collaborative knowledge-creation project.

It is crucial that LAMs be considered public civic spaces, but Oldenburg's model leaves a lot to be desired. The ideal of third places, that attracts we cultural heritage types, is a democratic space where civic life is built collaboratively and at a personal level. And John Cotton Dana's department store model is an interesting one.
