Global outreach

My Body: My Planet

My Body: My Planet is a research and development project delivered in collaboration with the Museum for the United Nations - UN Live and funded by the Wellcome Trust.

The goal of the project was to explore how to leverage culture to connect with young people (18-24 year olds) and encourage them to take action for their health and the health of the planet.

In 2021, we aimed to empower local institutions in four countries by adopting a participatory design process that invited stakeholders, experts and young people to shape the project designs.

In each country, we led a project with local partners, experts and communities to explore how we can encourage young people to take action on climate change.

Doing Science with Colombia

On 8 March 2022, the Museum co-hosted Doing Science with Colombia with the Embassy of Colombia in London, in a celebration of the scientific collaboration between the two countries.

The day celebrated the work both countries have been doing through the Newton Fund and the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF).
