Call for 'young producers' to help shape Museum of North Craven Life
THE Museum of North Craven Life at The Folly, Settle, has put out a call to young people willing to help it shape the museum for years to come.
The museum says it wants the voices and opinions of young people from 16 to 25-years old to be at the heart of what it does and has launched a new 'young producers' initiative.
Isobel O'Donovan, community curator, said: "We are launching a new creative heritage project for young people who live in North Craven to help us shape the museum for years to come.
"We are looking for people interested in history, art, storytelling or design, and if the answer to any of these questions is yes, then The Folly's young producers might be for you.
""Our young producers will meet once a month at The Folly, take part in creative activities, and experience the behind the scenes workings of the museum. By the end of the project, they will put together a creative output – this could be a zine, pop exhibit or event – the direction of the project will be chosen by the young people and supported by museum staff."
Isobel said there are lots of reasons for young people to take part in the project. "Participants will have the opportunity to meet other young people with similar interests, try out new skills, and gain experience that could support future education or work opportunities," she said.
