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.

Hi Alice

I love your idea to do your display about cows. When I was little I lived on farm and spent a lot of time with calves in the shed. I watched my Mum and Dad milk the cows every morning and every afternoon. My favourite memory was having butter on white bread in the dairy with my Mother. We used to have strong tea with fresh milk.
Did you know there is a cow exhibition coming to WA? Have a look at this website.
