Don’t put us in a box: Junction youth panel’s top tips to museums

What did the Museum of London learn from being part of Stories of
the World?• Real co-curation and co-
production is hard work but brings positive change for our organisation
• We Junction - the long term input of our youth panel is vital to successful collaboration with young people in the future.
![Page 4: Lighting the cauldron - Young people and cultural organisations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5551bae8b4c905ca7f8b4dcb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Don’t put me in a box (or a case)
• Stereotypes and perceptions of young people as portrayed in the media are a myth
• Many of us are hard working and passionate
• Young people are all different from each other
• Always consult young people during the planning stages of projects.
![Page 5: Lighting the cauldron - Young people and cultural organisations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5551bae8b4c905ca7f8b4dcb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
It’s all about me• Knowledge is power• Learning flows when it relates to
who we are as individuals• Historical context falls into place
through exploring relevance to our lives
• We want to be part of something – a participant not just an audience member
• Different creative routes into the collections suit different young people
• You can learn as much from me as I can learn from you.
![Page 6: Lighting the cauldron - Young people and cultural organisations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5551bae8b4c905ca7f8b4dcb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
We like freeness• Make it free – there is stiff
competition for our money and time
• Make sure we aren’t out of pocket – cover travel and feed us – this means no one misses out
• Museums are well placed to offer exciting opportunities for young people to have fun and gain skills – especially as so many other youth services are being even harder hit in the cuts.
![Page 7: Lighting the cauldron - Young people and cultural organisations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5551bae8b4c905ca7f8b4dcb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
This ain’t the Roman days
• …but contemporary issues can be used as a route into the past and connect us to the world we live in
• Museums should get involved in current and even taboo and hard-hitting issues.
![Page 8: Lighting the cauldron - Young people and cultural organisations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5551bae8b4c905ca7f8b4dcb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Popping the social media bubble
• Remember we don’t all have access to social media
• If we do, we use it to connect to friends – not look up museum information
• Social media shouldn’t be the main driving purpose of your project – but it’s a great tool for exploring the past
• It is a successful way to showcase and celebrate our work
• Don’t forget to train us on how to use twitter, blogs and other media = new skills.
![Page 9: Lighting the cauldron - Young people and cultural organisations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5551bae8b4c905ca7f8b4dcb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Treat your museum like a YouTube video – it needs to
go viral• Get young people
talking about your museum – word of mouth is best
• What makes your museum unique and exciting?
![Page 10: Lighting the cauldron - Young people and cultural organisations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5551bae8b4c905ca7f8b4dcb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What next for us?
• Junction – a permanent legacy• Dedicated Youth Programme Coordinator• New youth programmes and Young People’s
strategy• Our Londinium 2012 – evaluation feedback
this week. How do visitors respond to co-curation?
• We’ll be in the exhibition between 2 – 2.30pm – come and say hello

‘Coll-education’The chicken and egg
of collections and education

What is ‘Colleducation’
‘Colleducation is the accidental and entirely unintentional marrying of collections and education until you cannot see the start of one and the end of the other’
OED 2020, 305th edition
![Page 26: Lighting the cauldron - Young people and cultural organisations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5551bae8b4c905ca7f8b4dcb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The poster pin up of Colleducation
• Antonia’s expertise and willingness to get out any items, and to share her extensive knowledge was of benefit to us, and all Yorkshire partners

How did ‘Colleducation’ meet?• Early education sessions
and ‘challenges’• Early lessons:- Broaden collection themes- Get curators to help with
outreach- Realise objects are the
fundamental point and without them I am just a slightly odd woman who talks a lot

Colleducation’s Monster
• If objects are our unique selling point –let’s see what happens if our ‘education programme’ (the Exhibition Team) choose the objects, research them, write interpretation …

Colleducation lessons• Collections are at the heart of education programmes• In order for this to work, you need to be willing to hand
over control and expect anything• Boundaries need to be in place – and need to be
explained to everyone (for example human remains)• Don’t compromise. Try it. It leads to amazing things. It
is refreshing working with people who were less aware of practical considerations and were just willing to work hard to make their vision a reality. (I was constantly asked ‘Why not?’, so I had to have a good reason for saying no to things!)
![Page 37: Lighting the cauldron - Young people and cultural organisations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5551bae8b4c905ca7f8b4dcb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Why was it a successful marriage?
• Because the collections and education programme were so closely linked that they were indistinguishable
• The ‘education programme’ was running our exhibition
• Because the ‘process’ was educational, so the end result was educational
