The New Curators Project

The New Curators Project aims to give young east Londoners the chance to learn about careers in the cultural heritage sector.

The New Curators Project is an annual programme run by UCL Special Collections and Newham Heritage Month. It offers 10 young adults in East London the chance to develop the skills and experience needed to start a career in the cultural heritage sector. That could mean working in a museum, an art gallery, at a heritage site, in libraries and archives or an arts organisation.
