All you need to do is partner with a shoe drive fundraiser facilitator. This next idea is great if your church has a great youth group with teens old enough to fundraise. While teens may not have a ton of their own disposable income, they can ask family in their social circle to give in support of your church.

Serving as many teens as possible through your youth program is not a goal. How many teens do you want to serve in years one, two, and three? There may be more teens in your community that need support. Consider hiring a facilitator. Work with the facilitator to plan the agenda. Plan the retreat.

I thought the pinnacle of participatory practice was an exhibit that could inspire collective visitor action without facilitation. But almost ALL of those opportunities are facilitated by people. Since 2010 I have seen, again and again and again, how valuable human facilitation is to the participatory process. Build community.

Expressing their emotions so openly was a new and uneasy task, but with the help of a wonderful facilitator, Conso Buzabo , they intuitively shared their compassionate connections through simple art making. Anyone can become a facilitator and host a workshop in their community, and we encourage everyone to get involved.

Their project this year is to prevent teen pregnancy by educating girls about: how to make informed choices, how to protect against the risks that come with being sexually active, and how to get support and resources along the way. Through this awesome after-school program, these young women are becoming true social change agents.

The people were of all ages--moms with babies strapped to their fronts, six year-olds using skillsaws, pre-teens building robots, teenagers doing homework. Part of this is practical: you can''t facilitate making and tinkering for 30 kids if you have to hand them everything they need. Really interesting. No visible bylines.

Sure, it's social, but people stick to their own "pods"--families, teens, adults--and don't diverge or merge. It's also a reason that people will game with strangers; in that case, the games' rules form the partial barrier that facilitates social interaction. Step 3: a successful "five" is given. Why does this happen?

The recent flurry of restrictions that has sent teens fleeing? I want to see more multi-person exhibits, more prompts for discussion about content, more tools to facilitate connecting wtih other visitors whose interests are similar or in some way useful to your own. Use staff and volunteers as monitors/encouragers/facilitators.

The challenge is distributing these programs either to mass audiences or without heavy facilitation. How often does your enemy acknowledge you? Lesson 5: Talk-backs are discussions.

One person commented about how he loved growing up in DC as a teen and generally using the Smithsonian as a playground. So I think the facilitation of that makes for a new museum. The conversation on the blog about Free at Last touched on that. And not think that we need to control the content but also your attention.

It is a personality test (based on real science) in which you can determine your own love style by answering a series of questions, teen magazine-style. But it's hard to explain to visitors who haven't played Apples to Apples, and if there is not a gallery host to facilitate, this one often sits unplayed. A DIY wedding!
