ALT The Global Research Translation Award (GRTA) is a £1.36 million project to help tackle health, nutrition, education and environment issues in developing countries. The UEA’s GRTA project is called: Meeting the Sustainable Development Goals: creating innovative infrastructures and policy solutions to support sustainable development in Global South communities. The over-arching project comprises four interconnected sub-projects addressing child malnutrition, sustainable food systems, family literacy and microplastic pollution. University of East Anglia's Global Research Translation Award (ref. EP/T015411/1) is funded by United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) with the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF), part of the UK's Official Development Assistance.

It was an excellent experience listening to co-presenters' work on equitable outcomes around health and nutrition & presenting our work on IVRS as a participatory tool for improving nutrition outcomes for women.

Wonderful news. Our Chirag app @GramVaani seeks to support tribal ASHA and AWW workers with information in their local languages Santali, Kui and Desia
India’s 1 million ASHA (accredited social health activist) workers receive the @WHO DG awards at #WHA75 this year. ASHA‘s are the foundation of the national health mission & are critical for community based primary health care @MoHFW_INDIA @NITIAayog who.int/news/item/22-05-2022…

Thank you @grta_project @UEAgreenfilms for organising this event. It was a delight reflecting on youth agency and voice amongst indigenous communities in India through film-making @kissfoundation @PRADAN_India @APZBNF @hlpe_cfs @nnedpro @TIGR2ESS @ICRISAT @mssrf
📺 Watch Prof @nityarao63 now discussing our latest research on #SustainableFoodSystems and nutrition security in India.
Alongside her talk is commentary from expert partners @ShuvajitChakr12 and @ShubhasreeAnoop, plus screening of the films created!

Final comments from @AsherMinns for the #FilmmakingWithoutBorders event:
'These films show that science communication can be moving and facilitate a much more deeper and richer collaboration as well as far more in-depth insight into the research itself than we would otherwise.'

Next is @DrAndrewMayes @UEA_Chemistry on the use of film for explaining the science behind the GRTA's latest research on the global challenge of #microplastics. From instructional videos and info animations, the films have increased impact and training. #ScienceCommunication
"Our video has had over 3,000 YouTube views which is impressive for an incredibly niche & specialised training topic on a specific scientific technique."
It shows the ability of film to empower scientists and people all around the world to engage in #microplastics research.
