Des colloques ont été organisés, des rapports lui ont été consacrés, et il fait l’objet d’un intérêt croissant dans les milieux du travail social et de la politique de la ville en quête de renouveau. Les travaux en langue française sur la question sont pourtant rares, à l’exception de la référence à Saul Alinsky, père fondateur de cette mouvance, qui a fait l’objet de plusieurs ouvrages récents. National Museum of Singapore explores digital avenues to engage visitors SINGAPORE: The National Museum of Singapore is exploring the use of data analytics and augmented reality (AR) to better engage with its audiences. The museum's senior assistant director Jervais Choo said: "We are constantly exploring with different technology and industry partners, how to engage with our audiences.” “(These are) means that we can use to engage with our audiences, and also to bring out the stories behind the museum and our collection a bit more," he added.

Northwestern University Démocratie et citoyenneté: la France peut-elle s'inspirer du community organizing à l'américaine? Temps de lecture: 8 min Un remède à la crise que traversent nos démocraties existe déjà. Il a été inventé aux Etats-Unis il y a plus de 70 ans et permettrait de redonner aux citoyens le goût de la politique en même temps que la capacité d'agir sur ce qui les concerne. C'est en tout cas ce que pensent certains chercheurs et militants. Au centre de leur attention: le «community organizing», une forme de mobilisation et d'organisation de la population s'appuyant sur les communautés popularisée par le sociologue américain Saul Alinsky. En 1940, cet universitaire engagé a «organisé» un quartier de Chicago en regroupant différentes communautés et permettant à ses habitants d’infléchir le rapport de force habituel et de défier les pouvoirs publics locaux aussi bien que les entreprises.
Ten Inspiring Museum Reads for 2017 – Museum Hack – Medium As we enter the new year, we’ve rounded up 10 recent articles and blog posts that touch on everything from important discussions in the museum world to cool museums we wish existed. Read on and ring in the new year with these great reads. Museums Will Rescue Us D3.js - Data-Driven Documents Hierarchy of Social Participation As part of the article I’m working on for the and Social Issues on using web 2.0 to promote civic discourse in museums, I’m developing an argument about the “hierarchy of social participation.” I believe that, as with basic human needs, experience design in museums (and for other content platforms) can occur on many levels, and that it is hard to achieve the highest level without satisfying, or at least understanding, those that come before it. One of the impediments to discourse in museums is that fact that designers want to jump straight from individuals interacting with content to interacting with each other.
Wanderway Community participation, community development and non-formal education Contents: introduction • non-formal education and community education • competing definitions and perspectives in the contemporary context • the state and top-down v bottom-up approaches to community • programmes to promote non-formal education, community participation and development in the South – in practice • conclusions • references • acknowledgements • how to cite this piece Although community participation and community development are terms that have such current connotations, both have actually been around for some considerable time. In the post-Second World War period, community development was defined as a ‘movement designed to promote better living for the whole community with the active participation and on the initiative of the community’.
Marshall Ganz On Social Change Movements Beautiful Bill Moyers interview of Marshall Ganz, who worked closely with Cesar Chavez and deeply studied movement building: Few tidbits that stood out ... "Anatomy of a movement: story, strategy, structure." Movements are distinguished from interest groups – movements have narratives (tell stories because they are not just about rearranging economics and politics; they also rearrange meaning). They are not just about redistributing the goods – they are about figuring out what is good. They have this cultural piece of work, along with the economic and political. 5 Ingredients for Building Community Over the past few years, people often ask how Designer Fund has built a community of over 100 top designers including founders, leads and angels. Building and sustaining our community from the ground up hasn’t been easy. I’ve learned that you need to intentionally design a community with at least five key ingredients: Purpose, People, Practice, Place, and Progress. People naturally gravitate to communities that represent their values and beliefs.
How Creative Mornings Runs Their 106 Monthly Chapters For six months in a row, I told myself I’d wake up at 6AM and get out the door to a monthly CreativeMornings event. Instead, I’d hit snooze every time, missing it and then perusing the event photos longingly a few days later. Last month, I was determined to break the cycle. So, at 8AM on February 13, I filled out my online profile, packed away some business cards, and headed out into the misty Seattle morning. As soon as I arrived, I knew why this series had captured the hearts and minds of creatives in 106 cities around the world. And I knew why people got up so early to bask in it: someone greeted me warmly at the entrance and ushered me inside.
My CodeConf Talk: Your Community Is Your Best Feature Had a blast this weekend at GitHub's inaugural conference, CodeConf, where I got to give a new talk on building community around open source software based on my experience at Expert Labs running ThinkUp. CodeConf didn't record audio or video of any of the talks, so I'm posting a transcript of mine here. Enjoy. Scaling Facebook Groups — HS Hackers It’s been a little over 9 months since my baby was conceived, which is pretty impressive considering I don’t have a womb or any female reproductive anatomy. That’s because I’m talking about a virtual birth, one which I’ve had the luck, privilege, and sometimes duty, to have brought into this world. It’s been one hell of a ride—in the course of a school year, our group has grown to include high schoolers from all 50 states and more than a dozen countries, organizers from nearly every major U.S. college hackathon, newly-minted founders of high school hackathons and hacker meetups, and yes, even the president of Y Combinator. In sharing our story with the wider hacker community, I hope that others — especially other high-schoolers—will be inspired to learn from our mistakes, and maybe even start their own communities. Trimester 0: Conception But I didn’t know any of that at the time.
