Young groups will work as curators, finding new ways to present objects and artefacts, discovering untold stories and hidden meanings, and working with museums, libraries and archives to generate a network of innovative exhibitions for 2011 and 2012 as part of the Cultural Olympiad.
Stories of the World, one of the major projects of the four-year London 2012 Cultural Olympiad, is a series of exciting exhibitions with young people at its heart that will reconnect museum collections with the people and communities that they came from. It will be hosted by 59 major museums and libraries throughout the UK.
The NYA will be using its participation framework Hear by Right to work with museums and youth groups. NYA development officer Roger Morford said: "The framework will leave a lasting legacy on how museums, libraries and archives work with young people by developing new skills, new ways of working, new ways of developing and presenting exhibitions and helping to open new career paths for young people."
