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.

Our Plan - South West Seascapes!

Our exhibition idea is called 'South West Seascapes' and is about the animals of south west Australia.

Our plan is that we'd have a corner and split it into half - one side being the bush, the other the ocean. On the walls is a landscape of that area with animals on it, maybe soft toys.

The animals have a speech bubble each and inside them are information on the animals. On the floor we were planning to have a path on the bush side, and footsteps on the ocean side to make it look like it's on a beach.

On the ceiling we thought we could have some lighting - yellow light for the bush, blue for the ocean. It could be just cellaphane on it. The animals on the walls include a tiger snake, kangaroo, eagle, southern right whale, salmon and jellyfish.

If there are anymore animals we need, I'll let you know.

See you on Tuesday! =)
