Youth Forums (14-25)
Are you aged 14-25? Can you help us make our museums more attractive to young people? We are looking for creativity, fresh ideas and most importantly your voice - to speak up and influence decision making at Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales.
We have a Youth Forum at each of our Museums across Wales. Young people aged 14-25 are encouraged to be partners in decision making and organising activities. The forums will explore the views of young people and will address issues they think are important.
Amgueddfa Cymru’s Youth Forums have participated in several exhibitions and activities, such as:
- Kids in Museums Takeover Day and Teen Twitter Takeover Day
- Writing
- Writing an alternative interpretation booklet [PDF] for the exhibition Fragile? at National Museum Cardiff (Funded by Colwinston Charitable Trust)
- Producing a cartoon map, Our Cardiff, to coincide with Treasures on display in National Museum Cardiff with artist Huw Aaron.
- Filming and producing a video of an opera event connected to the exhibition ‘War’s Hell!’ The Battle of Mametz Wood in Art (In partnership with WNO, Cardiff University and Firing Line: Cardiff Castle Museum of the Welsh Soldier).
- Building a bread oven at Bryn Eryr, Iron Age farmstead, St Fagans National Museum of History.
- Delivering and displaying an Ethnic Youth Support Team project, Chips, Curry and Cappuccino (Funded by Heritage Lottery Fund), National Waterfront Museum.
