""Science literacy is the artery through which the solutions of tomorrow’s problems flow" — Neil deGrasse Tyson

VISION

This new UK-based NGO seeks to support pilot projects and a world where everyone has a basic science literacy, bringing greater confidence and empowerment to help solve day to day problems, and understand the technical underpinnings of our lives to bring about social change for the better.

MISSION

HWDI believes that there must be a fundamental rethinking of how individuals and communities learn. To bring about wider and deeper information landscapes for all, it will work across sectors to establish innovative partnerships between traditional and nontraditional players to address the interdependent challenges of combating ignorance.
