Museums have a miraculous power to build bridges where ideas meet through which experiences are exchanged, communication and dialogue to transfer knowledge through the power of designing invitations to participate in the presentation of ideas and through the power of the museum’s tools in addition to the importance of the museum in bringing people closer despite their different backgrounds Thus, the learning process is a sustainable process. So I agree with Nina Simon's.

Indeedly true.Museums should be community learning spaces.

Museums make you smarter. There is no doubt that a primary role of museums is to engage and educate the community. Museum exhibits inspire interest in an area of study, item, time period, or an idea– but there's more going on in museums in regard to education than one might think.

Nina Simon's ideas mean that museum shouldn't be a place where people go in, look, and go away without participation, it must be a place where people grow up, participate, learn, can give their contribute.
Museums should be free, everyone should be able to entry in a museum, every museum must be a home where live. Community in museum is an enrichment for learning.

If the museum wants to be a focus in the community, be a means to generating sociability and interaction more broadly, the museums can advocate for social causes, participate more in public education, sponsor and encourage cultural events in local communities and neighbourhoods.
As much as what Nina Simon says is germane to changing today's museum, I am not convinced that what the museum actually is has been sufficiently thought through to amount to more than partial and cosmetic change in the life of the museum as we know it.﻿

# data[].attributes.body
According to Nina Simon, a museum should be a place where people interacted and participated actively, where a connection was established with art and culture and not just as a place to visit.
She proposes various interaction strategies. In the table the school and the frequent students they have a different completely, being no more than mere spectators to be agents in the interaction that leaves a greater impact in their learning.
This approach is much more appealing to students as they learn best from experience.
For the most let it be even bigger in the largest applications among all intervenient, teachers and employee of museums.

Nina Simon's ideas make museums more interactive, more community oriented and open for everybody. I think that the goal of this kind of approach is to enable people to learn from exhibits and other visitors as well and not just to run through the museum without truly experiencing and learning. Openness to the community doesn't exclude learning about the topics of a museum's exhibits. It just gives the learning a new more inviting frame.

The video is very empowering and meaningful. I love, love, love museums and try to motivate my students to visit museums as often as possible. We research museums and try to incorporate art and exhibitions in our class projects. Students can be motivated by museums or the other extreme is being put off by museums if they feel that they cannot learn anything. Museums should be fascinating, interactive and dialogue provoking. A memory jar installation is a brilliant idea. I might use that for my classroom. What are your memories from your school year.

Nina Simon's idea of a social museum is great, but unfortunately, still many people don't go to museums regularly.
Technology gives us an opportunity to reach those visitors who are less interested in museums contents. These institutions have to profit that opportunity to create more immersive experiences with culture and heritage.

In this sense I would like to recommend an interesting video from another important woman in museums context, Sarah Kenderdine:

Museum is the place for all of people and they can participate actively

Müller is the place where the history and the cultural structure of the society come together. Today, the museum has an important place in the learning of technical and abstract systems. A lot of field work can be done in the museum. the museums do not just mean history and archeology. science, engineering or even mathematics.

# data[].attributes.body
For Nina Simon, visiting a museum, means to connect more deeply with each other, seeing museums as open spaces for participatory culture. From her example, with the Chicanos who made collages and Kile, the artist who handed his baby to these girls, after they had talked and communicated trough art..., so the interest grew up.

# data[].attributes.body
Nina's idea of education in the museum has to be developed.It is useful for children to see and feel what can be done about the past at a young age in the future.n

# data[].attributes.body
As Nina Simon say....a museum have to be alive. A museum have to be a challenge for the visitors. A museum have to be a part of the community. A museum have to connect people. A museum have to change you, have to make you understand better yourself and the others.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the main motivations of our existence is to create meanings. Many times static museums with their collections tell us nothing, we can not connect with these objects because they make no sense, it is excepted only as something old that is being preserved. Participatory museums open the possibility of the visitors to participate in the creation of the exhibition, and thus introducing meaning to something that till then was strange to them.

Involve people in artifact-related activities; make them decide which artifacts are relevant to the museum, and how they should be displayed.

Promoting activities with the artifacts on display to get people to connect with the artifacts and encourage them to want to know more about them and  to connect people who are different and who have different points of view so that they learn from each other

So, by creating ways to get the visitor to actively participate in the museum's exhibition, we can turn artifacts into exhibits in museums as a powerful tool to get

people to interact and talk about important issues such as where we were, where we are now., and where we want to go.

# data[].attributes.body
For Nina Simon learning in museums means living a cultural experience, being engaged with objects and people all around us, becoming able to communicate in a meaningful way, to listen each other, to put ourselves out there with strangers too. I think she's totally right because, here in Italy,  we have too many exhibits that actually risk to embalm both the objects and communities behind the crates. I think all she spoke about in this video concerns giving back life to the objects through giving back life to the community around.

# data[].attributes.body
The museum trip is pretty boring for most people.We need to teach our children how interesting and beautiful museums are.So Nina Simon is right.

# data[].attributes.body
Nina's Talk enfasizes the importance of participation, relevance and community (conection) in our museums today, In schools this 3 ideas should also be our guidelines. If we want people to learn about something we need to ENGAGE them, to make it relevant and ABOUT them. So, I think participation in Museums (as in schools) is essencial for significative learning. It is not about "their history", it's about OUR history, OUR PLANET, our work... It's about who we are.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Nina Simon.Museum can be  an active place.Students can be creator ,not only visitor.

This presentation is inspiring and passionate.

Museums are often secondary leading institutions lacking the invitation to contribute.
Nina Simon's ideas about opening museums are very good, it is much more attractive to learn and share knowledge.

The vision of Nina Simon is an open space where everyone can actively participate and connect with the culture and each other. "... we can transform museums from things that are nice to have things that are really necessary to move the community forward."

This video made me think that we have to change our way of teaching kids today. The key message of Nina is: we have to change the design of invitation to participate, if we give someone (it could be a kid) a different and at the same time a special tool, you make that person feel valuable, that person will care about of what he or she is going to do. That is what we have to do in our classrooms... to give children special design of active learning. What a great idea!!!

The speech was powerful. I think the focus on community is kinda "compulsory" if we want a museum to be alive, to generate genuine interest and learning. When you feel involved, you are more likely to participate, to remember, to understand and eventually to become an active agent in the cultural (therefore social) process.

Nina Simon tries to attract more people to her museum by organising some cultural happenings in a way that put visitors into an active role. Teachers and curators should organise such events and put students in more active mode while visiting museum, e.g. workshop or scavanger` s hunt. I think that museum staff can organise happenings about topics of some exhibition and try to be interesting to community.

I liked very much the speech of Nina's!!! She is great with very good ideas about what can we do to make museums more attractive to the people. Nina said "The problem is that for most people museums are not seen as open spaces, museums are seen as elite institutions, that serve an increasingly small and limited subset of our population...." "If you give somebody a special tool you make them feel valued, you show them that you actually care about what they going to do and it transforms with they do in return..."

This video is very interesting! In fact, Nina addresses key "real life" issues of communities! The proposals it presents, in fact, lead to true knowledge of the people and to the development of communication and trust ties between people who did not know each other initially.
I think the diversity is wealth; from different ways to "see" a problem, can come out its resolution! ...
Use the artifacts displayed in the museum to promote interaction with the community, Why not? I agree at all and will be a great way to engage students in solving global problems, building on the knowledge of the "history" already experienced.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Nina idea is great. The activity oriented to the visitors can involve people them to meet the culture.
Ask people to talk about the exhibit strartig by their experience and knowledge can motivate visitors to undersand more about what they look at. Ask people to reflect and write or draw about what they look at to collaborate to the museum could be winning

# data[].attributes.body
I must say the idea of PARTICIPATORY CULTURE Nina alludes to is something we have been trying to put into practice at our schools. Sometimes not every invitation to participate is effective and that's maybe the reason why some of our students don't feel motivated to put their best ideas on show. With the right tools and engaging activities, we are on the right track to open up both museums and classrooms. Consequently, we might build opportunities for conversations, effectively connect with others and, hopefully, overcome the divisions that insist on hindering our sense of identity/ belonging. When all of this is triggered by "an object that mediates conversations", it cannot be considered a distractor, but an effective and powerful learning tool.

Nina sees museums as places where people connect with human heritage and each other.She develops the idea of active participants ( visitors have the opportunity of suggesting an improvement of a museum by writing a poem on some department for example). Visitors are invited to come to the museum and actively participate on its contents ( people paint and do collages,write love letters using old technology like a typewriter,they share their favourite coffee memories,bottle up their memories in a jar opening up to other people). In Nina's view artifacts should be social objects which will enable visitors to learn something and interact with other visitors and cast light on community issues.When you give visitors carefully designed tools and designs they feel valued and want to contribute with their work ( you can design a craft activity or design games for that purpose) The example of homeless volunteers and other volunteers working together on excavating the graveyard of the founders of the city she lives in shows the connection between historic artifact and active learning about one's heritage.

# data[].attributes.body
She talks in a really enthusiastic way about what we do not really think about first when defining the the roles of museums. She also accentuates the importance of the involvement of the audience with meaningful content and creative tasks.

I love her ideas! Museums can and should be, a wonderful places where people meet the like souls through artefacts, and learn together about past, art, each other, oneself...

Going to museums is taking a path to self-discovery. By learning about others we learn about ourselves, we get to know what matters and that sharing makes a difference, we learn to be better than before ...

# data[].attributes.body
Today the persons need to be enterteined before to be educated, defends Nick Grey. Nina Simon, a museum director in California, implements this idea when  advocates the opening up of museums. She defends that museum customer should have an ative role in the museum. He is an spectator but, at same time,  he is a creator. She wants to create a bridge between to observation and the creation. (she claims for an active participation, creating a emancipated spectator). When someone visits her museum she wants his contributs to make the museum better. (the museum is a permanent construction). In this perspective our students can share theirs contributs: writting a post it, a letter, giving sense to an object. In this sense museums are places of self dicovery.
In this way museum is the place where we can motivate  and involve our students giving them different experiences to learn to discover and mainly, to share.

I strongly believe that Nina's ideas were great and it is really important for everyone to actively participate in every Museum. Especially for my students (who are 5 years old and they can easily be bored) it is important the teachers and the persons who work in the cultural institutions to create special tools in order the students to feel valuable and to participate. In that way it is easy not only to learn but also to develop critical thinking and to communicate with the other people without stereotypical perceptions.

In my opinion ,Nina Simon’s ideas  are a revolutionary approach to museums .Museums aren’t just places for elite but places where you can participate actively contributing in a creative way and ,at the same time get in touch with people from different countries, culture  and so on.

This  new way of presenting artefacts can motivate  and involve my students giving them different tools to learn.

Community in museums doesn’t distract from learning about the topics of exhibition but it adds something more :good tools,give value to contributions etc.

I think it was a very interesting speech and very inovative approach to the museum.She created a new type of museum were the comunicate,collaborate,share ideas,explores...She wants encourage students interest in the area the live in.She provides another quality of education-experience 3D.Let students enter the museums and teache there.

Nina Simon`s ideas about museum are very interesting and creative. Museums are a community of people who think together, asks and share ideas. They are not simply passive  observers. The museums are an interactive space where people met specialists, children and teachers, students, people who want to learn new things. The museums are open space for children workshops or a space for exhibitions, interactive corners for adults, a place for sharing experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
I completely agree with Nina's ideas. A museum is not only a place tivisit but a place to live in, where people can actively participate, create and share. This way people can interact and share their creativity

# data[].attributes.body
Nina Simon's idea is to consider museums cultural institutions reconnect with the public and demonstrate their value and relevance in contemporary life. She believes they can do this by inviting people to actively engage as cultural participants, not passive consumers. It's a great idea!  Community engagement is especially relevant for students but I think that museums must find new strategies  to connect and engage young people.

Sharing experiences and feelings in a museum with unknown people is an incredible thing.

I think Nina's ideas are great. Opening up museums for public in such way really can improve and enrich one's life and experience a lot through interaction with objects and people in the museum. Sharing knowledge, experience and opinions can be easily started in place like this. It's not just about learning facts but also about enhancing social skills and improving one's well-being.

Amazing how we can change owr own perception of a museum. We can be invited to interact with strangers, to contribute with suggestions, to get involved with an object and find more about it, to learn with each other and share emotions and skills.

Museums as community centers - Nina Simons ted talk made me think of the transformation public libraries made in the past decade(s). Very similar starting point (declining numbers of visitors, funding, scientific and social relevance) - similar success stories. Secondly - I absolutely support her approach. Open up, get people involved, give them good tools, value them and their contributions, give back value by allowing, enabling social interaction and making museums the safe space, "this safe social object that mediates an encounter that otherwise wouldn't happen." (That's my dream-definition of education too, by the way.) Unfortunately she did not talk about an important factor which is necessary here as well: skilled and well trained curators, scientists, museum educators, a team which supports this approach and takes on the risk, and effort. What I take with me from this talk are two things: a) enabling encounters and exchange that otherwise would not happen and b) giving good tools to and valuing the contributions from your participants. Either in museums or education.

# data[].attributes.body
I consider the Museum an institution of great value, a factor of education that should have a significant impact in the formation of an attitude of respect for national values, a main depositary of the material and spiritual values. Regardless of the type or Museum can be considered as a documentation center, giving the visitors a number of current information in an attractive shape and vivid, easily accessible.

Nina Simon's interactive approach to museums casts a new light on these institutions. They can help people build human relationships as they are seen as communities where everybody brings their creative touch to a common work of art.

It's a great and very inspiring speech. It makes us to think. Museum is not only a place where we can learn. It unites people of different counries and even continents.
It's great when museums involve visitors in different activities (workshops).It's more interesting way of perception, aspecially for students. In such way visitors can interact and feel themselves part of community.

I think Nina Simon's contribution to the present concept of what a museum is greatly innovative. Being open to the community and being a place of involvement and sharing is really challenging and educational. I like this perspective and find it extremely helpful to make museums places of human collaboration and inclusion. Here we can have real interest in the artifacts and make conversation about them, thus getting all people of different age ranges to feel part of a creative community.

Nina Simon's ideas about museums are really inspiring.  Museums as community centers create an innovative way of thinking museums as places for active cultural experiences, not simply cultural paths. Family and students workshops, art labs, interactive corners on topics covered are significant cultural experiences  to become communities rather than observers.
