We The Curious
WECIL’s work with We The Curious evolved out of an organic relationship over a number of years. In their previous incarnation as the At-Bristol Science Centre, We The Curious were increasingly aware that their visitors didn’t sufficiently represent the demographic of Bristol. To ensure that they were a safe and welcoming space for everyone, the team were conscious of the need for change both within the physical environment and their whole identity as an organisation.
WECIL’s objective was to advise We The Curious on this path towards inclusivity, accessibility and diversity, and provide valuable partnership guidance as the organisation developed and navigated this journey. There were several strands to realising this mission, including assessing the content displayed within the centre, the building itself, and both the diversity and training of the team.

The Challenge
WECIL’s work with We The Curious evolved out of an organic relationship over a number of years. In their previous incarnation as the At-Bristol Science Centre, We The Curious were increasingly aware that their visitors didn’t sufficiently represent the demographic of Bristol.
To ensure that they were a safe and welcoming space for everyone, the team were conscious of the need for change both within the physical environment and their whole identity as an organisation.
Our Approach
Our approach was to develop a meaningful partnership with We The Curious rather than a transactional relationship. As well as a formalised audit that was delivered a year into our relationship with the institution, WECIL delivered explorative conversations and provided bespoke guidance.
The centre had work commissioned for a venue hire floor, and WECIL advised on the planned building work both during the consultation stages and project work itself.
The Outcome
The outcome of our work with We The Curious has been deeply positive. As well as the physical changes to the building itself, WECIL have become an indispensable strategic partner for the organisation, involving mutual benefits for both parties.
