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.

I think it's a great idea to xhibit something like this. Make sure you include indigenous and Asian cultures.

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

- It’s good meeting people from people from different cultures because you make new friends and learn things.

- I think this is a good inspiration because everyone is different.

- It’s a good thing to know about different cultures.

- Learning about different cultures is good because if you go to another country you know what not to do.

- How are you going to make this appealing?
