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.

North Albany's Exhibition Plan

At the moment we've just got the plans worked out. We kinda don't have the materials to make the exhibition, we just need a big board with half of the board painted black with a picture of that hand on the top third of it, then we're going to put an paint tray for the kids to put handprints on the wall and little hand-shaped or key-shaped pieces of paper for the adults to write comments on. (the other side of the wall's gonna be white)

We were also hoping to interview some students from Mirrabooka SHS who know of people who have has people traffiking experiences. We want to do little bit of a biography so we can make it into a story board kind of thing.

Cya soon! Natasha, Liam and Rebekah
