Museum of World Cultures - Co-creation sessions

Between 15-20 young adults and 3 to 6 museum staff participated in each of the 3 co-creation sessions. The sessions were facilitated by two people from Waag Society, assisted by a moderator. The aim was for the group of young people (18-35 years old) involved to be as diverse as possible in terms of educational, geographical, socioeconomic, gender and cultural backgrounds. The sessions explored possible new connections between young adults and cultural heritage. The aim of these co-creation sessions was to design one or more "interventions", inside the Museum or related to its programme, in order to demonstrate how young people deal with cultural heritage as well as to probe their views about ethnographic museum collections. The interventions fit within a larger trajectory that aims to better embed diversity within the structure of the Museum of World Cultures.
