Content

How we display, say, and do things mirrors the values we hold. Creating inclusive exhibitions, programming, communication and research can strengthen the reach and impact of our science engagement practices. This involves developing guidelines, such as universal design principles, inclusive research design and language practices, as well as participatory formats that inform content development and delivery methods.

Objectives

  • We cultivate and communicate new narratives within our content.
  • Our content is created with an awareness of inclusive design practices.
  • We promote and illuminate multi-disciplinary research on equity, inclusion and diversity as well as inequity, exclusion and marginalisation across various content domains.
