Participation

Participation refers to taking an active part in a project, an activity, or a process in which the participants’s contribution influences the shape and/or results of the entire endeavour. Participation can take a form of various levels of involvement — from small short-term contributions, through larger involvement over a longer period of time, to long-standing relationships between the institution and a given group or an individual. It can also provide various forms of involvement: co-ownership, co-governance, co-creation, collaboration.
