Description

[edit | edit source]

The first segment kicks off with an open debate featuring panellists renowned for their utilisation of participatory strategies in their endeavours. Representatives from The Hunt Museum, Platoniq LAB, and Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation take the floor to initiate discussions on the merits and hurdles of participation in institutional practices. Their diverse experiences pave the way for an inclusive dialogue, encouraging exchange of ideas, values, and obstacles, while also amplifying the voices of the broader audience. Transitioning into the second phase, the event adopts a presentation-oriented tone as participants delve into the RECHARGE Playbook. Developed as a methodological tool, the playbook offers clear and user-friendly instructions for facilitating co-creation within institutions. Collaborating with the playbook's co-authors, attendees explore practical solutions cultivated through the RECHARGE project. Presentations by the authors and institutional representatives provide firsthand insights, inviting participants to actively engage in testing these proposed solutions. The final workshop component is characterised by active and critical utilisation of the RECHARGE Playbook. Guided by facilitators, participants delve into the possibilities of implementing participatory strategies within their own initiatives.
