Co-pro video: What is participation?
In co-production practice, we are always striving to achieve the highest possible levels of participation but do recognise that it’s not always possible to get there right from the start.
Any framework or model should be used to inform how you make progress and what you aim to achieve at all the different stages of your co-production journey.
This short animation from Our Museum introduces other models of participation – such as Arnstein’s Ladder of Participation - and highlights why participation is important. When you’re watching the video, try replacing the word “participation” with “co-production” throughout - it really works!
