Curiosity makes us human. It’s the knowledge emotion, that tingle that inspires us to ask ‘what if…

Cultivate Curiosity

Our curiosity pledge

Humans are naturally curious, right from the day we are born. It’s what drives us to investigate and learn about the world. At We The Curious, we trust in people’s curiosity – we all have something to offer and new ideas to explore.


Problem-solving power

By harnessing the power of curiosity to solve problems, we can tackle complex challenges and create solutions to build a better world for the future. 

We are moved to imagine how things could be, because we are curious and inquisitive about the unknown. It's this that gives us the impulse to create and come up with solutions. By championing question-asking, we embrace the joy of the process and spark new avenues for exploration.
 

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.

Including everyone

At We The Curious, we love that curiosity is a leveller, something innate to us all. Science isn’t ‘finished’. It is living, breathing, and always changing. By approaching science through the lens of curiosity, we acknowledge diverse perspectives and open up a multi-disciplinary approach.

 

Big benefits

Curiosity has many wellbeing benefits. Following our curiosity to explore fundamental questions can offer a deeper perspective on life.  And while you’re at it, this deep exploration opens up new avenues to knowledge and builds skills in the process.

Open City Research

Open City Research is about giving everyone the opportunity to be part of science research.

We’re all born curious and we all have something to contribute. 

We strive to be a safe space for people to share ideas and explore challenging topics – together – leading to a greater sense of connection. In this way, curiosity emotionally connects us to other people, inviting new ideas and life enhancing, empowering experiences.
