Abstract
This brief report describes the operational processes and participatory methods involved in setting up, managing and mediating a cross-institutional youth advisory board. Youth advisory boards in museums give young people opportunities to co-program with and for their peers, as well as to have an active and visible role inside institutions. Framed by the research project Youth in Museums, the youth advisory board Listening Lab – Youth, Culture, Participation, was co-organized and developed with five cultural institutions in Lisbon, Portugal. These included the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT), BoCA – Biennal of Contemporary Art, Casa da Cerca – Contemporary Art Centre, LU.CA – Luís de Camões Theatre and the Municipal Galleries. Young people, aged 15 to 25, were invited to participate in group roundtables to discuss specific issues related to youth arts programs. In the sessions with the youth advisory board I combined a semi-structured approach with participatory methods that activated collective processes of meaning making.
本简要报告介绍了设立、管理和调解跨机构青年咨询委员会的运作过程和参与方法。博物馆的青年顾问委员会为年轻人提供了与同龄人合作和为同龄人服务的机会,并在机构内发挥积极和可见的作用。在博物馆中的青年研究项目的框架下,与葡萄牙里斯本的五个文化机构共同组织和发展了青年咨询委员会倾听实验室——青年、文化、参与。其中包括艺术、建筑和技术博物馆(MAAT)、BoCA——当代艺术双年展、Casa da Cerca——当代艺术中心、LU.CA——LUís de Camões剧院和市政美术馆。15至25岁的年轻人被邀请参加小组圆桌会议,讨论与青年艺术项目有关的具体问题。在与青年咨询委员会的会议上,我将半结构化方法与参与式方法相结合,激活了意义创造的集体过程。
