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.
