Shaping our Future is a collaborative project between the Cape Metro and West Coast Museums and the Africa Unite School Club programme, which is designed to give youth younger than 25 a platform to share their views. Though the main activities take place in Youth Month (June), the programme runs throughout the year.

Cape Town Museum, in partnership with the City of Cape Town, documents and collects personal histories, memories, and stories of Cape Town as told by its residents.

The Cape Town Museum Memory Project allows residents to document and share their history using their own words, images, and perspectives.

We believe that museums should be active agents of change and development. Museums should inspire and change lives while they mediate identity. Cape Town Museum, therefore, has a dialogical activist ethos that provides platforms for inclusive dialogue on the future of the City.
