The Core

We are a group of young people aged between 13 and 18 who are interested in Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery - as well as a variety of other random subjects!

Our aim is to: “get involved in and help to organise projects and events and discuss ideas that will appeal to young people like ourselves. Through these activities we hope to create an environment that young people enjoy and feel involved in, and make the Museum and Art Gallery fun and interactive.”

The images shown above were taken at our 'Famous' Fashion Show, held in conjunction with the Museum's SNOWDON: Iconic Images exhibition (10 February to 7 May 2007). Visit the Exhibition Response area of the Museum's website to find out more about this particular project.

Background

We work with members of staff at the Museum and Art Gallery to devise or get involved in a number of different projects. We also get the opportunity to see behind the scenes. We have a serious job to do but it’s also important that we have fun.

We meet at the Museum each Friday from 4pm to 6pm. Our bus tickets are paid for and snacks are provided. If we are involved in a big project we may need extra time to meet on another day to make sure everything gets done.

As a member, all the time that you put into The Core is recorded and a certificate is issued for your Record of Achievement. It’s also possible to undertake parts of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
