The asiancanadianwiki.org was soon created by compiling renowned artists, established artist organizations, and re-usable third-party information into a online resource. Spearheaded by Festival Accès Asie, the site was created by a small team of dedicated volunteers to realize objectives for the National Asian Heritage Month Symposium.
In 2010, there was no unified single database, contact organization or centralized location to connect with the various artists and organizations for the Symposium. A resource was needed to locate, inform and assemble Asian artists, organizations, centres from across Canada. Locating Asian Canadian artists, arts organizations, communities and centres was a challenging process. We realized that connecting these communities required more research and development. At that time there was no unified single database, contact, organization or central location to connect with the various individuals and organizations for the symposium. The Symposium first began as a need to contact and inform arts, cultural and community based organizations and individuals across Canada. Essentially, resources, contacts, organizations etc., were gathered within our networking circle.  


With funding from Canada Council for the Arts and with your support, our 2012 goal is to “kickstart” asiancanadianwiki.org with design elements and substantial and credible content. Our hope is that the site will have the necessary visibility and participation to foster connection, culture and community.

Meeting notes:
 
Presentation will be based on ancestry, culture and community. I will speak about who I am, my mother, Asian Heritage Month, Festival Accès Asie, cultural politics, and the Asian Canadian Wiki in 2009 that was created to engage community participation in the national Asian Heritage Month Symposium in 2010. The Asian Canadian Wiki was created in the context of the democratization of knowledge/ technology, citizen participation, popular education, opensource, blogging and Wikipedia. With the phenomena of living globally in our hands and homes, virtual realities and international migrations, culture and community plays an even more pertinent role in the 21st century.

Peter Jackson’s definition of cultural politics:
“the domain in which meanings are constructed and negotiated, where relations of dominance and subordination are defined and contested,” papers in this session will discuss how understandings of exclusion, fragmentation, and disconnect intersect with culturally constructed social divisions such as ethnicity, race, gender, nationality, religion, class, age-grade, and/or sexuality.

Citizen participation Sherry Arnstein
Sherry Arnstein discusses eight types of participation in A Ladder of Citizen Participation (1969). Often termed as "Arnstein's ladder", these are broadly categorized as:
Citizen Power: Citizen Control, Delegated Power, Partnership.
Tokenism: Placation, Consultation, Informing.
Non-participation: Therapy, Manipulation.
citizen participation: redistribution of power that enables the have-not citizens, presently excluded from the political and economic processes, to be deliberately included in the future.
