Your brain at work – an event on neurodiversity

ADHD, ASD, OCD, dyslexia – what is neurodiversity? Should you talk about diagnoses at work? How can you support your neurodiverse colleagues and students? Does everyone have ‘a little bit of ADHD’? Please join us on 25 June for ‘Your brain at work – an event on neurodiversity’. We will discuss neurodiversity and its different types, lived experiences, assumptions about neurodiversity, current tools that Utrecht University offers, and more.

Please feel free to interact during this event as little or as much as you would like. We want to make sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. You can ask your questions anonymously using a Wooclap (bring your phone!) or non-anonymously.

What

An event on neurodiversity with speakers, room for (anonymous) questions, and drinks afterwards.

Why

We hope you can learn something about neurodiversity and take this information into your work, whether that be interacting with your students or your colleagues.
