We’re thrilled that Charles Stanley has featured an article by Natalie in their InFocus magazine, and now on their website!

In this article, Natalie takes us on a brief, personal trip to a positive future – and explains why we think science centres have a crucial role to play in making that positive future.

… which includes a link to the Association for Science and Discovery Centres campaign ‘Science Centres For Our Future‘ – this campaign highlights the important work of science centres in the UK, and how it’s crucial that they are recognised and supported alongside other cultural organisations.

“What’s your vision of a positive future?“

It’s something we’ve been asking our communities ever since our Climate Stories Gallery, in the run up to our first climate exhibition in March 2022 – and it was a key theme to our first video describing our work and ambitions.

Since then, we’ve developed this idea into a 1-day event experience along with our amazing collaborators Bob Walley and Katie Villa, which we’re working to take on tour across the region. We’re also very inspired by Rob Hopkins’ work in this area, who asks ‘what if?’ in his recent books and inspiring workshops, and the research (such as this work) around how imagining a better future can inspire people to work towards it.

Let us know what you think of the article – Natalie would love to hear what your vision of a positive future was like!
