“…Even if they are highly qualified professionals, the profession itself has a limited view and range. A participatory communication is necessary, and communication is as important as obtaining information (Cornish and Dunn 2009). The final users, such as civil society, are those who can tell how the process and the final output will prove to be experienced in practice.…”

“…The popular pools together a tradition of bottom-up practices and theories that have impacted media and communication studies since the 1970s (Pajnik & Downing, 2008, p. 9). Under the banner of alternative media, social movements, participatory communication, or, sometimes, "nano-media," the popular as practice is found in initiatives to create alternatives to corporate or hegemonic media and, as a testament to the influence of Latin American media scholarship, a recognition that counterhegemonic media practices must be analyzed in terms of process and with the normative understanding that these practices must incorporate, or at least try to, the ideas and experiences of the populations the practices is hoping to help (Cornish & Dunn, 2009;Gumucio-Dragon, 2001;Huesca, 1995). The popular is a heuristic framework not only for researchers like me, but it is also a way of doing things that helps media makers form evaluations critical to their practice.…”

“…In recent years, (local) governments have also shown an interest in involving local groups, professional organisations, and individual citizens in the development of new forms of governance (Fischer 2006;Reddel and Woolcock 2004). Discussions on 'participating societies' made the use of the PAR model more relevant for governmental institutions (Cornwall 2004;Cornish and Dunn 2009). This process supports the liberalisation of policy agendas, and the development of a public orientation among citizens (Baiocchi 2003;Wampler 2012;Fung and Wright 2001).…”

In this paper, two researchers reflect on the institutional space for participatory governance in a participatory action research (PAR) process that was initiated by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (ECS) in the Netherlands. It was implemented in two schools by researchers contracted by the ministry. The project's aim was to explore possibilities for involving schools in policy processes using PAR. We conclude that PAR sheds light on the communication strategies, power and authority balances, and meaning of participation among the participants. The attempt to break through traditional hierarchies generated new insights into the institutional space at both the participating schools and the government institutions that can be used to create participatory approaches to governance. The researchers were the bridging actors between the schools and the government institutions. While previous research showed that a bridging actor can play a positive role as an objective party who is able to deliberate between the participants, we found that it impeded the creation of a participatory governance space.
