De kunstwaarde(n)-verbindingsmethode: van werkveldwaarden naar waarde voor het veld

Een aantal jaren geleden werkte ik samen met Geert van Boxtel aan Het Arrangeursproject, een initiatief van de Provincie Noord-Brabant om innovatie en publieksverbreding in de klassieke muzieksector te stimuleren. In plaats van top-down doelstellingen op te leggen aan projectpartners, begonnen we met het ophalen van waarden die de sector zélf belangrijk vond. Deze “werkveldwaarden” – van openheid en creativiteit tot co-creatie en diversiteit – werden de leidraad voor alle gesprekken met programmeurs, componisten, musici en ensembles.

Het resultaat? De Kunstwaarde(n)-verbindingsmethode ontstond, gebaseerd op de CommunitySensor-methodiek. Onze participatief-kwalitatieve analysemethode maakte het mogelijk om de impact van het Arrangeursproject te meten door de beleefde ervaringen van alle betrokkenen in elkaars perspectief te zetten en deze samen te bespreken. Door samen met de betrokkenen inzicht te krijgen in die waarden zoals ze werkenderweg in de verschillende deelprojecten vorm kregen, ontwikkelden we een inhoudelijk verrijkende manier om gezamenlijk de waarde van het project te bepalen.… Read more...

New publication – A Community Network Ontology for Participatory Collaboration Mapping: Towards Collective Impact

A. de Moor (2018). A Community Network Ontology for Participatory Collaboration Mapping: Towards Collective ImpactInformation 2018, 9(7): art. no. 151.

Abstract

Addressing societal wicked problems requires collaboration across many different community networks. In order for community networks to scale up their collaboration and increase their collective impact, they require a process of inter-communal sensemaking. One way to catalyze that process is by participatory collaboration mapping. In earlier work, we presented the CommunitySensor methodology for participatory mapping and sensemaking within communities. In this article, we extend this approach by introducing a community network ontology that can be used to define a customized mapping language to make sense across communities. We explore what ontologies are and how our community network ontology is developed using a participatory ontology evolution approach.… Read more...

Building “networks of communities” for a civic intelligence movement with impact

We live in an age of confusion, stagnation, and crisis. What we need is not more of the same top down, neo-liberal corporate and government interventions. These are just a recipes for ever more socio-economic and cultural alienation, disillusion and disempowerment. Instead, we should tap into the growing bottom-up and middle-out capacity around the world for civic intelligence: the collective, citizen-driven, (where possible institutionally supported) capability to think and work together. As Doug Schuler says:

Civic intelligence describes what happens when people work together to address problems efficiently and equitably. It’s a wide-ranging concept that shows how positive change happens. It can be applied anywhere – from the local to the global – and could take many forms.

Civic intelligence, properly taking root in the real world out there, is a necessary condition for any progressive movement-with-impact to build.… Read more...
