The Collective consists of ten 16–25-year-olds who since joining, have gained insights into heritage careers, boosted their skill sets and CVs and engaged with CPK-wide members of staff and have been used as a focus group to enable CPK to make their venues more attractive and accessible to young people.

Quote from a member of the Collective :-

“The Collective experience has benefited me in many ways, including, but not limited to, giving me experience within the culture sector, allowing a professional setting where I can work with people my own age, and providing wonderful experiences to work with people outside of the project while still being within the creative sector. The Collective has benefited me in terms of increasing my pre-existing curiosity in how museums function. Also, I’ve enjoyed the ideas we discussed and the laughs too“.
