The idea
Our project aims to establish a dynamic arts hub within the museum by engaging young people through free creative activities that foster intergenerational connections. The initiative supports youth-led exhibitions, events, and collaborative projects, enriched by peer mentoring and ties with the veteran community. Rooted in creative wellbeing, participants will explore and contribute to museum collections and military heritage while working together on projects such as developing a Victory Garden and a Cabinet of Curiosities. By promoting partnerships across generations, the initiative seeks to invigorate outreach programmes, empower stakeholders, and enhance visitor experience. For the museum, this approach brings innovative perspectives, strengthens team morale, and cultivates meaningful relationships that elevate the institution's cultural and educational impact.
