We decided to approach the label-writing for these boards in a participatory way. Maybe this person was writing about his or her preference for neon paper products, but I doubt it. It was the activity that drew this person (and probably others) to the surfboards—not the objects themselves.

When a participatory activity is designed without a goal in mind, you end up with a bunch of undervalued stuff and nowhere to put it. It's not just a personal activity; it's an opportunity to be part of something.

Every non-profit works with “systems” – internal ones relating to how work gets done, issue systems relating to the topic that the NGO is working to address, and mental model systems about strategy. The mental model mapping can uncover conflict, make it discussable, and enhance effectiveness. Key is a participatory development process.
