BACKGROUND TO MK Y2Y CONSULTATION
Millennium Kids (MK) is working with the Western Australian Museum and the Commissioner for Children and Young People to offer young people an opportunity to have a say about how the Museum presents it’s exhibitions and collections through an innovative series of workshops and training activities. It’s all part of a new initiative to consult with young people about the future directions of the Western Australian Museum.
Millennium Kids will be scouring the region for inspiring people with stories to tell or exhibit to inspire young people in the lead up to the workshops.
The MK Team have already consulted with a number of people who have some fabulous exhibition concepts around the things that inspire them about the local region.
On the 1 April a team of thirty interested young people will be trained as facilitators who will lead the one day workshop on 2 June with one hundred young delegates.
John Woodbury, owner operator of local Albany Whale Tours imagines a huge Dr Who like plant that lures and traps insects.
“The Albany Pitcher Plant Cephalotus Follicularis is found in one small location in Albany” he said. “It is found nowhere else in the world. It is such an amazing plant as it contains bacteria and digestive juices that dissolve the insects that fall into its trap.”
John is now pondering how he would exhibit this plant to inspire others.How would you exhibit your passion to inspire others? Comment Below!!Many thanks to www.collectorscorner.com.au for the photograph of the Albany Pitcher Plant
