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.

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

- All shells are unique and pretty much none of them are the same.

- I like the idea of having the shells because they all have a different history.

- The shells are a great idea for showing how valuable our shores are.

- Maybe have a few more different shells – ALICE

- Because they are so rare I think it would be a good idea

- This is an awesome idea. It will be like you’re on a beach

- They look cute

- That will look great
