The testers will provide feedback on the proposed interpretation points and other outputs of the project, giving the view of a young audience to help the relevant volunteer working groups to create accessible and engaging content.

Young people will be encouraged to participate in intergenerational experiences and their engagement will inform the ongoing activity programme for young people following the lifecycle of the project. All activities for young people will include a social element to support the building of friendships between peers. A programme of wellbeing support will be developed, and young people will be supported by the wellbeing volunteers who will ensure the space is welcoming and safe for them.
