Yet our posts contain similar phrases such as “21st century museums,” “changing museum paradigms,” “inclusiveness,” “co-curation,” “participatory” and “the museum as forum.” Museums may offer a unique range of resources and support to civic groups that are hoping to organize workshops or public conversations.

Last week, Jim Richardson and I hosted MuseumNext , a 24-hour workshop for museum professionals focused on bringing new, wild museum projects into the world. I gave an hour-long talk about participatory design practices ( video here ), and Jim gave a small tour of an exhibition he had organized nearby. Facilitator bits. You did great.

Last week, I attended Structure Lab , a half-day workshop on legal and financial structures for ventures for social good. While I'm not sure I'd recommend the workshop (it was quite expensive for what I received), I definitely benefited from the format. The good news? The bad news? readers, who I see as potential co-conspirators).

I would love to develop more indepth training workshop or webinar on this topic, geared more for nonprofits and participatory campaigns, perhaps incorporating the Creative Commons Open Content Game. It wasn't quite right for the page I ended up assembling. But I like it so much, for so many reasons, I can't resist sharing it here.

But now, many bars are also offering participatory experiences around content. Arguably, the basic content of any decent museum lecture or workshop is more compelling than the spelling of the word cilia. Adult programs--whether workshops or lectures--often feel intensely intellectual. Tags: programs inclusion.

People who work with non-professionals on participatory projects often talk about finding "neutral" sites for meetings or meeting on their (the non-professionals') territory. If I ran a poetry or drawing workshop, we wouldn't critique participants' ideas for poems or drawings. Tags: exhibition Tech Virtual.

While MuseumCamp is an unusual event, I''ve learned a lot from it about designing workshops, charrettes, and meetings--pretty much any gathering where you want to encourage playful, creative, risky thinking in groups. I first learned about this technique from Sam Kaner''s excellent book, Facilitator''s Guide to Participatory Decision-Making.
