Interested in developing your skills and confidence as a producer? Do you live, work, or study in the Royal Borough of Greenwich? Every year, the National Maritime Museum works with 12 people aged 16-24 to co-produce part of the public programme. As part of the Youth Collective, you’ll work with creative professionals, explore the museum collections, build your confidence as a producer, and gain new skills. Together, you’ll collaborate on a new public programme for museum visitors to enjoy and get paid for your time. What does the Youth Collective do? The Youth Collective meets weekly across 6-10 weeks, at the National Maritime Museum, with support from the Engagement team. Sessions take place in the evenings, but there may be additional meetings outside of these times, in-line with any workshops or events the group want to programme or attend. Past members have produced takeover events for young people, but it's up to the 2024 Youth Collective to decide what’s next. Whether it's an event, series of workshops, space for young people to come together, an interactive map, exhibition space, podcast, music video, or a film...what the engagement with museum visitors looks like is up to you!
