From 18 - 24 March 2024, it's Neurodiversity Celebration Week:
"Neurodiversity Celebration Week (NCW) is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, and organisations with the opportunity to recognise the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent, while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual.”
The mission of NCW is to change the narrative. Working together with schools, universities, and organisations, they aim to:
- Increase acceptance and understanding
- Provide education
- Celebrate neurodiversity
We encourage all staff and students to get involved with Neurodiversity Celebration Week.
