This project will take place in the Summer of 2025. We have chosen the Baird Institute as our venue and we are partnered with the Robert Burns Academy Supported Learning Centre S3 class. Pupils will have the opportunity to make an audio trail with four stations/themes. An audio button will be set on top of a plinth; the sides of the plinth will be decorated with collages designed by the pupils. The plinth will also contain a QR code linking to a transcript of content.  

Developing the Young Workforce project is in partnership with Museums Galleries Scotland, working with museums and schools in lower Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) areas. The project is being delivered in 8 different council areas in Scotland over two years. Pupils are working to co-create a resource with their local museum, learning about the diversity of job roles in the sector and increasing their employability skills. Working with S1 and S2 pupils who are pre-subject choices allows for flexibility in the curriculum to enable effective participation in this project. 

Museums Galleries Scotland collaborated with Daydream Believers to create a free, accessible, learning resource for schools and museums to support Workforce for the Future projects.

The Marseum learning resource was created to develop young people’s skills while supporting pupils to learn about museums and galleries. The resource is free and available for anyone to download, use, and run their own project.

Our four themes are:-
