 Science, like music, is a global language. It's a language that is spoken in centres and museums around the world, actively engaging millions of people everywhere. Right now, somewhere in the world, a person working in a science-central museum is involving others in protecting our planet. The vision is for a sustainable world. This will only be achieved with the support of an informed public and by helping everyone to see what role they can play. Science centres are places where people from all generations can learn together. Today, our planet is under pressure. The worldwide science-central museum community, a network of hundreds of institutions, is powerful and ready for action. This community is enabling people everywhere to understand and act on issues affecting their environment. But I want to tell you about a local project.
