As the Migration Museum prepares to open our new permanent museum, we are looking for 10 passionate young people, aged 14-19, to join our Young People’s Panel, helping to shape our events programming and the way we work with young people in our new museum.

This programme has two phases

Phase 1 will run from 27th – 31st July 2026. Phase 1 sessions will be focused on two things:

• Events – The Young People’s Panel will be supported to plan and put on an exciting event for young people! They will also explore what the events programme in our new museum will look like.
• Manifesto – The Young People’s Panel will develop a manifesto with the Migration Museum for how we will work with young people in our new museum.

Phase 2 will run from September-October 2026.

Over 7 evening sessions, the Young People’s Panel will be supported to develop their own event for young people which will happen in late October 2026.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for young people who are:

• Aged between 14-19 years old
• With a connection to the City of London, Tower Hamlets or Lewisham (this can be through living, working, studying or attending a club in these areas)
• With an interest in events and the Migration Museum

You do not need to have any experience in events planning or in museums to apply. Everyone is welcome.

Payment
