As a result, some foundations have started thinking about giving in a crisis before it even begins and developing a strategy to make sure that their funds have the most impact. A few ways funders have modelled this is by loosening deadlines, converting grant funds from restricted to unrestricted funding, and simplifying processes. .

MuseumCamp is a professional development experience that is part retreat, part unconference, part adult summer camp. This new, experimental training is a hands-on deep dive into the MAH’s model. I'm excited to share the MAH's community-first model and to invite you to this in-depth, immersive learning experience.

Which of these descriptions exemplifies participatory museum practice? Museum invites community members to participate in the development and creation of an exhibit. But the difference between the two examples teases out a problem in differentiating "participatory design" from "design for participation." The exhibit opens.

Like many people in the arts, I'm interested in new models that help people combine mission-driven work with an entrepreneurial spirit. The idea is that you specify your values, relationships, and assets, and then match those up with potentially fruitful legal structures, financing models, and growth potential.

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.

What if a funder got real-time input from its grantees and other partners to develop its investment strategy? What if they used a design thinking process to not only get feedback from grantees but as a way to develop a more agile way of working? In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”.

Curiosity got the better of me, and that’s how I met Bob Whicker, a K-12 Education Development Executive for Apple. Apple calls this program “one to one” learning, meaning not one instructor but one computer per child. Why haven't children's museums pushed past the 1970s model? I don't want a plastic tree. Why the uniformity?

Imagine you've just been tasked with developing an innovative, future-thinking national museum for your country's history. The early participatory projects are terrific.

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. It's a story of what happened after you launched that program, gave that speech, conquered that challenge. A vision is a detailed history of the future.

It's not the extent to which they are participatory. I see three significant internal reasons for homogenization in museums: As money gets tight, museums look for exhibits, program strategies, and revenue streams that are "proven" by other institutions' successes, rather than charting their own potentially risky path.

Several artists offer surprising insights into making participatory projects appealing to visitors. Frequently, we get stuck on developing participatory projects or events that serve as many people as possible.
