Young Cultural Creators
The group works in the BPMA Search Room
Between 2005 and 2008, the BPMA was involved in the Museum, Libraries and Archive Council's Young Cultural Curators Scheme (YCC).
YCC is a programme which inspires young people's reading and creativity. It does this through partnerships between schools and cultural organisations, including libraries, museums and archives, and by working with writers and artists.
The BPMA has worked with a number of different schools – both primary and secondary – looking at topics as diverse as Victorian social reformers such as Rowland Hill and Charles Dickens, stamp design, and London during the Second World War.
