ASDC Valuing Inclusion Report June 23
From ‘Science Orchestras’ to ‘Science and Supper’, this report showcases a three month snapshot of community engagement projects that took place during Spring 2023.
Sixteen Science and Discovery Centres worked in partnership with local communities across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to reach young people and families who are often marginalised or underserved in Science Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) engagement. They aimed to support participants to explore STEM on their terms in fresh, inclusive, and exploratory ways, and to nurture a sense of belonging and agency for people who may not feel that UK science, technology, research and innovation has relevance or benefit for them, or their communities.
These projects were funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), working in partnership with ASDC to put audiences at the centre of STFC public engagement.
