APRIL 7, 2011

Not only can you share organizational news as it happens, you can also comment on how breaking news in the world relates to your cause, or organization. In my book, there are two things all blogs must have: a way to subscribe and comments. Now, I know that many organizations have a fear of being overrun with negative comments.

And in several cases, the projects constituted "empowerment lite" for participants rather than true collaboration, co-creation, or transformation. And consider sharing a comment here with a takeaway that is meaningful for you. Most participatory projects were short-term, siloed innovations, not institutional transformations.

I''ve gotten more comfortable and more confident with the idea of the museum as political body that advocates for empowerment and social bridging. Empowerment? What do you think has changed around these issues in the past five years? When we really live our mission, that''s where it takes us. What is participation for?

HOW (slides 24-42) There are three “tracks” to our theory of change: individual empowerment, social bonding, and social bridging. Let’s start with empowerment. This starts right when you walk into our museum, where you can share opinions about how to improve the institution on a comment wall. Showing that their voice matters.

This is the fourth annual such event and is meant to organize pro-choice bloggers to write about choice, raise the profile of reproductive rights, and educate their readers about the issue. This kind of constituent empowerment effort as an organizing strategy is smart. And that I'm able to help them do it!

The museum display included information about the issue, a countdown clock to the government's decision, and a running tally of postcards submitted to date. Because museums are often afraid, unwilling, or unable to take clear positions on issues, they settle for empowering visitors to "get involved."

Certainly, if you are a technology provider that values empowerment of your clients, this is probably a good model to consider. Empowerment – as you help them with a problem, teach them about the problem, and ways to troubleshoot (or possibly solve) the problem themselves in the future. Second, Empowerment. Are they angry?

I really don't like Just Another Emperor, and it's because of the spin techniques used to attempt to make the case for the policy changes it advocates. they are not.

I felt an emptiness inside, as a woman, that I wasn't hearing from the teachers that I wanted to about world issues. If your angle is using this training as an outlet for local empowerment and development, then you very much want to bring in mentorship. Well, first, it started for me at a young age as a young woman.

The Somaly Mam organization focuses on rehabilitation for girls who are victims of sex trafficking, and that's a really, really tough issue, but really important.

Writing a series I think gives me the space and time to think about particular technology issues in way more detail than I can in one post, and Web 2.0 are about empowerment of individuals, and connecting people to each other by the content that they create, or are interested in.

To me, that sort of sums up something very special about the way in which we try to make these resources accessible to women-led initiatives that are often some of the most creative that we are seeing on issues ranging from the environment, to health, to education, to building peace and sustainable communities around the world.
