- Pizza at every meeting.
Previous opportunities have included a group visit to Berlin, co-curating an exhibition with the British Museum, speaking at a Barcelona conference, opportunities to work with international artists and planning and facilitating a range of events.
Previous participants have gone on to jobs including the Natural History Museum in London, Hopetown, Museum of Hartlepool and to lead paid creative workshops.
This is an amazing opportunity for any young person in the Tees Valley, especially those interested in the creative industries, history, museums or heritage and/or those who are interested in making venues more interesting/engaging for young people.
