Create and Collect for Climate Change was a project specifically aimed at engaging children and young people with our museum spaces. We used the narrative of climate change because this is one of the biggest issues facing young people today.
The community groups involved included the Dorset Goes Wild Facebook group, the Dorset Race Equality Council’s Youth Empowerment Platform, students from Budmouth Academy in Weymouth, the Rise 61 Youth Club in Salisbury, and Wiltshire based branches of Girl Guiding and the Scouts Association.
The outputs from the project were fed into our online exhibition, My World, My Future.
