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.

Mia's Salmon Holes Exhibition Idea

Hi it's me, Mia from Katanning Senior High School.

The photo of my inspiration is of the Salmon Holes in Albany. I think that as Australians, we should be taking more care of our beautiful coastline. If I could exhibit this in any way, I would include ways for ordinary Australians to help out, more information on the wildlife that live along the coast, the different problems the world's oceans are facing and the different things that we can do to help keep our beautiful beaches.

The beaches of Australia are the most stunning in the world, so by putting up an exhibit like this, then we can learn how keep enjoying them!!!
Let Mia know what you think about her inspiration! Leave a positive comment below!

I think that is a brilliant idea, Mia!!! I'm all excited about it. I agree that Australian should appreciate the uniqueness of the coastline and ponder on how we can best preserve the beauty of it all.
