Lab4Living has secured funding to co-design online resources to support young people from diverse and underserved backgrounds, who experience forms of anxiety, depression, stress, and poor mental health. The project is called ORIGIN and more information can be found out about it via our project partners webpage.

The team we are recruiting will play a pivotal role in creating an ‘online museum', with content focused on ‘hidden' narratives from people who are diverse and under-represented, working in partnership with museums, galleries and cultural partners across the country, using their creative experience to develop new ‘exhibits for the new museum'.

  • Working with and for young people (age 16-24) from under-represented backgrounds and with mental health issues
  • Design, creation and production of an ‘online museum' of hidden stories, with young people.
  • Organising and co-ordinating a national network of young co-design partners who will gather potential stories from local museums and galleries.
  • Work with museums, galleries and cultural partners to explore their archives for ‘hidden' narratives.
  • Working with industry partner Imagineear to turn stories into a variety of content formats for the online museum.
