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.

Kyle is Inspired by his Guitar


By Kyle Weaver

What inspires me is guitar because it can be loud and angry but it can also by quiet and peaceful.

I think its better to play guitar then to listen to it because it's so much fun and you actually get to do something instead of just listen.

I would exhibit my guitar by puting some pictures of people playing guitar surrounding the guitar and play some acoustic guitar CDs. As part of the exhibition I could include some guitar history. I could also put up some information about famous guitar legands and guitarists from Albany.

Below are the comments received at the xhIBIT alBANY Workshop 2 June 2009.

- I think it is good that some people are inspired by music because not everyone can play an instrument, and it keeps them unique.

- I think it’s cool to be inspired by music because you can express yourself.

- It is good to learn an instrument so that you can express yourself.

- I like guitar as well
Guitars are good. I would like to see this exhibit.
