Youth Panel

Young people playing an interactive game in the MERL galleries

About this event

Our Youth Panel, for young people aged 14 – 18, offers collective work experience opportunities across The MERL and Reading Museum as part of Museums Partnership Reading’s youth programme. We meet monthly to work on a variety of exciting projects which are great for developing a range of transferable skills. Our panel members influence current projects and programming and are change-makers within Reading’s culture and heritage sector.

Current Project – Dungeons and Dragons

Over 4 sessions we will be using MERL themes and collections to inspire creation of a playable Dungeons and Dragons universe. No D&D experience required, this is the perfect opportunity to get started if you’ve never played before!
