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.

Welcome to Country Speech given at xhIBIT alBANY Exhibition Launch 8th August 2009

Today we stand here on Manange ground, this is part of our boodja this we call kallynup; meaning place of fire.

Looking around us we see many different things that has given our children the opportunities to look into the future.

Where one day they will have the opportunities to do these things if they require through their studies.

These children of today are our next generation, so while we can still be their support to encourage them to go further.

Already they are seeing into the future as you only have to walk around to see.

Where energy is concerned we have our windmill turning each day.

Where now we are seeing that trees are need more so that our planet can still provide for us.

Where are wildlife will no become existence.

Where now we have a diverse country and working together as on will only make this country strong.
