About the Early Years Project
​
The first 1000 days of a child’s life, starting from conception, offers a critical window of opportunity to safeguard babies from adversity, preventing a domino effect of problems throughout the life-course. Positive early connections last a lifetime, and are vital in creating successful, happy and healthy adults.
​
In fact, globally, pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period are linked regardless of nationality and so it’s really important we acknowledge and prioritise these, non-mutually exclusive, universal challenges, not just in the UK but around the world.
This inspired the Early Years team to develop an international collaboration between the Birthing a Better Future Art & Science Exhibition project by Zero2 Expo, UK, and the PANChSHEEEL Project, India, lead by Professor Monica Lakhanpaul, in partnership with DBT/ Wellcome Trust India Alliance (India Alliance), Dr Kartik Sharma of Public Arts Health & Us (PAHUS) who was also the project co-lead, to raise awareness on child health in India.
