In November 2021, RAMM welcomed its second cohort of youth panel members
The Youth Panel, generously funded by the Art Fund, aims to give young people a voice and offer them the chance to take an active role in shaping what happens at RAMM.
A primary aim of the youth panel is to allow them to get involved in planning and implementing an exciting programme of events, exhibitions and activities specifically designed to appeal to 18-25 year olds, with the aim of increasing their sense of ownership and connection to the Museum.
Selecting a collection of objects for the Viewpoint windows was the first project the 11 youth panel members worked on together as a group. Given the theme of the ‘environment’ the Youth Panel members selected a wide variety of objects, from the contents of a late Anglo-Saxon rubbish pit to a Moa bird egg shell.
The Viewpoint windows can be found in the ‘More in Store’ area of RAMM.
