The Participatory Culture Project

The Participatory Culture Project explores how modern technology enables people to actively create, share, and collaborate online, transforming them from passive consumers into active contributors. It examines how digital platforms—like social media, forums, and user-generated content sites—foster community engagement, skill development, and democratized access to knowledge. The project highlights the benefits of this shift, such as increased creativity and social connection, while also addressing challenges like information quality and digital literacy. Overall, it emphasizes the transformative role of participatory practices in shaping contemporary culture and communication.
