Case studies
The 12 Mindsets + Missions projects are dedicated to making cultural and civic engagement possible for everyone through co-development and participatory practice.
Bringing diverse and plural perspectives to the development of the knowledge, research and innovation needed to build our future societies, they’re exploring local and global issues and generating ideas and outputs with the power to improve lives.
These case studies reflect on the projects so far and how they’re helping our museums and science centres to become more equitable and representative.
