Click; Connect; Curate; Create Bronze Arts Award
Click; Connect; Curate; Create is a two year research and development project, looking
at how Leicestershire County Council can use digital technology to encourage people to
visit our museums and access our collections.
We are looking for young people aged between 16-25 years old to help us design,
commission and test a range of digital products that we hope to develop during the next
two years. Your involvement in this project will help shape how we use digital
technology to engage with young people in the future.
There are five stages for you to get involved in this project:
1. Ideas Generation
Come up with imaginative ideas for digital content based on our museum sites
and/or collections. (November 2013 or January 2014)
2. Commissioning: Commission arts organisations or digital companies to produce
prototypes based on your ideas (January & March 2014).
3. Marketing: Be involved in the marketing and promotion of the prototypes (From
June 2014)
4. Evaluation: Test and evaluate the prototypes (July 2014 – December 2014).
5. Sustainability: Shape how we use digital technology to engage with young
people in the future. (March 2015)
