The City of Play is looking for keen individuals to assist at the ‘Mazing Memory Museum event for Glasgow Doors Open Day 2015.
The City of Play will create a temporary playful installation to engage families/children with their city through play; making lasting memories which are connected to a place.
A child friendly maze constructed entirely of straw bales will be set up with a themed creative workshop at its centre. The workshop within the ‘museum’ will encourage participants to design and decorate their own ceramic models where they can attach their own ‘oral histories’. The resultant ceramic vehicles will then form a mini transport museum like experience.
Details: Volunteers will be required to undertake the following duties;
To assist in the initial set-up of the straw bale maze
To provide public assistance

To assist in the dismantling of the straw bales once event has closed
Record and document the number of visitors to the event
Assist lead facilitators in their general duties
Assist participants whom are painting ceramic models
Understand the purpose of the event and explain what activities are available at the entrance to maze
