SUMMARY:Yearly online conference Neurodiversity Pride Belgium
DESCRIPTION:Our morning program (English)\n\n10:00 Welcome – Host: Dietrich Moerman\n10:05–10:30 Pete -TheWiz- Moens – InclusiMates: Less Guesswork\, More Understanding\n\nTake-away: When we stop forcing people to mask or conform and start intelligently adapting the environment\, we unlock talent\, foster peace of mind\, and create genuine connection.\nSummary:\nPete’s presentation starts with a simple yet transformative insight: many neurodivergent individuals don’t struggle because of a lack of ability\, but because their environment isn’t calibrated to how their brains actually work.\nHe’ll take you through his personal journey as a late-diagnosed Autistic with ADHD\, and how that experience shifted my perspective on work\, communication\, and community. We’re moving away from “deficit-based thinking” and focusing instead on potential.\nWith **InclusiMates**\, he demonstrates how to make that transition concrete: moving from “fitting into the system” to “building a system that adapts to people.” Through practical tools—like personal user manuals\, QR codes\, and streamlined communication principles—we make invisible needs visible. This allows people to thrive without having to constantly explain themselves.\n\n\n10:45–11:10 Carla Havermans (A Divergent Design) – Making space for neurodivergent talent\n\nTake-away: In the right environment\, a neurodivergent brain doesn’t just function—it thrives. When the context is supportive\, the unique strengths of neurodiversity become a powerful driver for success.\nSummary:\nAs a neurodivergent entrepreneur and coach\, Carla spent years trying to fit into systems that simply weren’t designed for her. Like so many others\, she became an expert at **masking**: adapting\, performing\, and functioning according to societal expectations—usually at the expense of her own energy\, confidence\, and well-being.\nToday\, in her work with neurodivergent adults and organizations\, she sees the same pattern repeated: an incredible amount of talent goes untapped\, simply because the environment isn’t aligned with how people actually think and work.\nIn this talk\,she weaves her personal journey together with professional insights to show that neurodivergence isn’t a problem to be fixed. It is a strength that flourishes when we make room for different ways of thinking. We are shifting the focus from **”masking to fit in”** to **”creating spaces where people can be themselves.”** This shift is the key to unlocking not just peace of mind and confidence\, but also unparalleled creativity and innovation.\nYou will leave with a fresh perspective on neurodiversity: not as a limitation\, but as a significant asset for both individuals and organizations—provided the context is right.\n\n\n11:30 Closing words by our host\n\nOns namiddagprogramma (Nederlands)\n\n13:00 Welkom door onze host Dietrich Moerman\n13:05–13:30 Daphné De Troch – Waarom normaal niet werkt\n\nTake-away: Ontdek waarom het ook voor jou\, jouw team en/of jouw bedrijf goed is om uit de comfortzone te stappen en nieuwe wegen te bewandelen. Het belooft een inspirerende avond te worden vol eye-openers en nieuwe inzichten op vlak van neurodiversiteit op de werkvloer. Welkom!\nSummary: Ben jij ook nieuwsgierig waarom normaal niet werkt op de werkvloer? Sluit dan aan bij deze sessie.\nIn deze sessie bespreekt auteur Daphné De Troch van het boek ’Waarom normaal niet werkt’ hoe bestaande werkstandaarden voor neurodivergente personen – zoals mensen met ADHD\, dyslexie\, hoogsensitiviteit\, introversie of autisme – vaak belemmerend zijn\, én hoe die standaarden bedrijven hinderen in een moderne economie. Ontdek hoe neuro-inclusie jouw team en organisatie versterkt en wat er nodig is om een neuro-inclusieve werkplek te creëren waarin iedereen zich gewaardeerd voelt en hun talenten maximaal kan inzetten. Met inspirerende getuigenissen is dit een onmisbare sessie voor leidinggevenden\, hr-professionals en iedereen die de kracht van neurodiversiteit wil benutten op de werkvloer.\n\n\n13:45–14:10 Sofie Meerschaege – Wat als jezelf kennen begint bij je zintuigen?\n\nTake-away: Er bestaat geen one-size-fits-all aanpak voor overprikkeling\, vermoeidheid of burn-out. Wat voor de ene rust brengt\, kan voor de andere juist verder uitputten. Je sensorisch profiel is een unieke taal die jouw zenuwstelsel spreekt — en zodra je leert luisteren\, ontdek je welke prikkels jou aarden\, activeren of doen schakelen. Zelfregulatie wordt dan geen wilskracht-oefening meer\, maar een natuurlijk afstemmen op wat jouw systeem nodig heeft.\nSummary: Twee à drie jaar geleden kreeg Sofie haar eigen diagnose\, en daarbij werd er een sensorisch profiel afgenomen. Dat document veranderde alles. Voor het eerst kreeg ze een taal voor wat ze haar hele leven al voelde maar nooit kon benoemen. Het was geen lijst van problemen — het was een gebruiksaanwijzing voor haar zenuwstelsel. En\, belangrijk: een gebruiksaanwijzing die alleen voor mij gold. In haar werk als coach in neurodivergentie en ervaringsdeskundige ziet ze dat geen twee sensorische profielen gelijk zijn. De ene persoon vangt alles op uit haar omgeving en heeft net rust en aarding nodig. Een ander voelt nauwelijks iets binnenkomen en heeft juist zachte activatie nodig om weer thuis te komen in het lichaam. Wat hen verbindt is iets anders: het lichaam is stil\, of niet gehoord — en het hoofd heeft de regie overgenomen. Tot het systeem niet meer kan.\nIn deze presentatie deelt ze: hoe sensorische drempels werken en waarom ze zo nauw verbonden zijn met arousal en burn-out; waarom dezelfde aanpak (“meer rusten”\, “beter voelen”\, “mindfulness”) voor de ene wel werkt en de andere uitput. Het brede palet aan positieve prikkels — ritme\, aarding\, thermische afwisseling\, tactiele rijkdom\, fascinatie\, zachte activatie\, micro-momenten — en hoe je ontdekt welke voor jou werken; hoe ze het kader van Olga Bogdashina vertaalde naar toegankelijke vragen voor volwassenen en jongeren\nHaar boodschap is eenvoudig: je lichaam faalt niet. Het spreekt alleen zijn eigen taal — en zodra je die leert verstaan\, vind je geen probleemlijst\, maar een persoonlijk kompas.\n\n\n14:25–14:50 Shannon Van den Borre (Prikkel Praat) – Wat als jouw omgeving veranderen\, alles verandert? Over het inrichten van een leven dat past bij jouw brein\n\nSummary & take-away: Je kan de wereld niet veranderen. Maar jouw stukje wereld? Dat mag en kan er helemaal anders uitzien. In deze keynote duikt Shannon in het belang van een omgeving die bij jou past: fysiek\, sociaal\, digitaal én in je hoofd.\n\n\n15:05–15:35 Felicia Willemsen (Centrum Divers) – Mijn neurodivergentie als kompas\n\nTake-away: Een neurodivergent brein kan zo veel voordelen hebben. Dat ze dankzij haar eigenheden\, keuzes heeft durven maken waar andere mensen bijvoorbeeld lang over zouden twijfelen. Dat neurodivergentie juist een kracht kan zijn in het ondernemerschap.\nSummary: Felicia brengt een getuigenis over hoe neurodivergent zijn haar richting gaf.\n\n\n15:50–16:15 Dorien Baele – Strategisch uitstelgedrag\n\nTake-away: Hoe je van intentie naar actie kan door je neiging tot uitstellen strategisch in te zetten.\nSummary: Dit is een sessie voor de tijdsoptimisten\, de planners-in-spe\, de deadlineknuffelaars\, want in deze sessie kom je te weten hoe je uitstelgedrag en urgentie in je voordeel gebruikt om zo tijdsefficiënt mogelijk te werken zonder in freeze te raken.\n\n\n16:30-16:55 – Kim Vander Stuyft – Over Tourette\n\nTake-away: [coming soon]\nSummary: [coming soon]\n\n\n17:10–17:35 – Ellen Jansegers – Zwijgen is goud: begrijp introversie\, van jezelf tot je kind\n\nTake-away: Stil zijn is oké\, niet iets om af te leren maar net een talent om te omarmen\nSummary: Tot de helft van de wereldbevolking is introvert\, maar wat wil dat concreet zeggen? En wat als het ouderschap je overweldigt en de drukte je uitput? Of wat als je kind introvert is – hoe help je het zijn plek te vinden in een drukke wereld? In deze webinar leert journalist en auteur Ellen Jansegers je wat introversie precies is (en wat niet)\, waar misverstanden vandaan komen\, hoe introverte en extraverte mensen elkaar beter kunnen begrijpen en welke stille superkrachten er zijn. Herkenbaar\, warm en met praktische inzichten. Gebaseerd op haar boeken Zwijgen is goud\, Introvert ouderschap en Sil superstil.\n\n\n17:40 Afsluitwoord door onze host\n\nSchrijf in via: https://bjien.activehosted.com/f/42

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity Belgium - Connect Club – Hiking Group Meet Up
DESCRIPTION:Neurodiversity Pride Week Celebration\n\nTo celebrate Neurodiversity Pride Week in June\, our Connect Club and the NDB Hiking Group are joining together for a relaxed community walk through the green surroundings of Watermael-Boitsfort / Bosvoorde Brussels\, near the Forêt de Soignes / Zoniënwoud on 14 June 2026. \n\nThis event is open to neurodivergent people\, families\, friends\, allies\, children\, adults\, and well-behaved dogs. It is a gentle opportunity to connect\, move\, talk\, stim\, walk quietly\, or simply spend time outdoors alongside others in a neurodiversity-affirming space.\n\nThe walk will start at 13:00 and will finish back at the starting point. The trail is not paved\, but it is clearly marked and fairly level.\n\nMeeting point:\nWe will meet at the entrance to Tournay-Solvay Park\, closest to the Boitsfort/Bosvoorde tram stop on tram 8.\nThe meeting point is also around 200 metres from Boitsfort/Bosvoorde train station.\n\nPlease note:\nThis is not the same as Watermael train station\, so do check your route before travelling.\n\n\nAbout the NDB Hiking Group\n\nThe Neurodivergent Hiking Group offers guided walks for neurodivergent people and their families in and around Brussels. The regular hikes usually take place on the first Sunday of each month\, although there may occasionally be changes when guides are unavailable or when special events are planned. Our walks are free to attend.\n\nSign-up\n\nPlease sign up via our Events Page where possible here:\nhttps://neurodiversity.be/events/connect-club-hiking-group-meet-up/\n\nYou may also turn up on the day if you already know the meeting point and time\, but we kindly ask that you do not leave registration or questions until the day itself. On the day of a hike\, our guides usually have limited time to respond to messages especially with excited children\, dogs\, and wonderfully busy brains in motion.\n\nPlease let us know in advance if you have any access needs or anything that would help you feel more comfortable joining. As this will be a combined event\, dogs\, children and adults of all ages will attend.\n\nHow to recognise your guide:\n\nOur regular hiking guide is Jon\, who is recognisable by his glasses\, ponytail\, and beard.\n\nWe hope you can join us for this Neurodiversity Pride Week 2026 celebration — building social connections on the hoof.!!\n\nNDB Events Team

SUMMARY:Neurodance Preparty
DESCRIPTION:Neurodance Preparty – Moonwyrm on Twitch\nSunday 14 June 2026 | 2:00-4:00 PM Central US time / 21:00-23:00 CEST | Online: \nJoin the Neurodance Preparty here \nLanguage: Mostly music; chat language may vary \nNeurodance Preparty is a two-hour online music session with Moonwyrm\, streamed live on Twitch as part of the build-up to Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026. \nThis preparty is a smaller\, simpler version of the World Neurodance: one DJ\, one Twitch channel\, two hours of music\, movement and neurodivergent joy. It is a chance to warm up for ND Pride Week\, test the stream together\, and enjoy a shared online dance moment before the full Neurodance World DJ Marathon begins on Neurodiversity Pride Day. \nNeurodance is about dancing in your own way. You can dance wildly\, gently\, visibly\, quietly\, with others\, alone in your room\, seated\, stimming\, listening\, resting\, or simply being present with the music. There is no correct way to join. The point is not performance. The point is connection\, rhythm\, movement\, joy and the freedom to celebrate neurodivergent pride in a way that fits your body and your brain. \nThis preparty is also a live technical test for the official Neurodance page. During the session\, visitors can try the embedded Twitch player\, the chat preview\, the readable chat popout\, and the scroll-safe mini-player. If everything works well during this preparty\, the same setup will support the full Neurodance World DJ Marathon. \nMoonwyrm has played an important role in growing Neurodance into a global online celebration. Since 2023\, Moonwyrm\, together with Sir_no0ob and the Wyrmling community\, has helped shape the ND Pride Raid Train into a joyful international gathering of neurodivergent DJs\, dancers and listeners across time zones. \nThis event connects strongly with Neurodiversity Pride Day because pride does not always need a stage or a speech. Sometimes pride is music. Sometimes it is movement. Sometimes it is letting your body respond in the way it wants to. Sometimes it is joining a chat\, opening a stream\, or dancing privately while knowing that others around the world are celebrating too. \nProgramme\n\n14 June 2026: Neurodance Preparty\nDuration: 2-hour Twitch set\nDJ / channel: Moonwyrm\nFormat: live online music stream with Twitch chat\n\nTimezone guide\n\nCentral US time / CDT: Sunday 14 June\, 2:00-4:00 PM\nUTC: Sunday 14 June\, 19:00-21:00\nAmsterdam / CEST: Sunday 14 June\, 21:00-23:00\nNew York / EDT: Sunday 14 June\, 3:00-5:00 PM\nKyiv / EEST: Sunday 14 June\, 22:00-00:00\nHong Kong / HKT: Monday 15 June\, 03:00-05:00\nAuckland / NZST: Monday 15 June\, 07:00-09:00\n\nPractical information\n\nEvent: Neurodance Preparty\nDJ / streamer: Moonwyrm\nDate: Sunday 14 June 2026\nTime: 2:00-4:00 PM Central US time / 21:00-23:00 CEST\nLocation: online\nPlatform: Twitch\nChannel: @moonwyrm\nPart of: Neurodance / Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026\nOrganiser: Neurodiversity Pride Day / Neurodance team\n\nWhat to expect\n\nA two-hour online Neurodance preparty with Moonwyrm\nMusic\, movement\, chat and neurodivergent joy\nA low-pressure way to join from home\, alone or with others\nA chance to test the Twitch player\, chat popout and mini-player setup\nA warm-up moment before the full World Neurodance 2026 programme\nFreedom to dance\, stim\, listen\, rest or participate in your own way\n\nThis event may be especially relevant for neurodivergent people\, Twitch communities\, music lovers\, dancers\, stimmers\, gamers\, ND Pride supporters\, and anyone looking for an online\, movement-based way to warm up for Neurodiversity Pride Day. \nJoin the Neurodance Preparty here \nVisit the World Neurodance 2026 page here

SUMMARY:Neuroqueer Peer Support Circle: Reclaiming Space\, Selfhood & Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Neuroqueer Peer Support Circle: Reclaiming Space\, Selfhood & Belonging\nAs part of Neurodiversity Pride Week 2026\, NDB is relaunching our Neuroqueer Peer Support Circle\, an online peer-led space for neurodivergent people who are also queer\, trans\, non-binary\, gender-expansive\, questioning\, or exploring the intersections between neurodivergence\, identity\, gender\, sexuality\, embodiment\, and belonging.\n\nThe term neuroqueer\, associated with the work of Nick Walker and others\, invites us to question the norms that shape how we are expected to think\, communicate\, relate\, move\, express gender\, and exist in the world. It is not only an identity label\, but also a practice: a way of exploring and challenging the “shoulds” around both neurocognitive and gendered ways of being.\n\nThis circle is a space to return to that original spirit: curiosity\, fluidity\, mutual support\, creativity\, and self-definition.\n\nTogether\, we will explore questions such as:\n\n• What does it mean to be neuroqueer?\n• How do neurodivergence\, queerness\, gender\, masking\, safety\, and self-expression interact?\n• What parts of ourselves have we had to hide\, translate\, soften\, or explain?\n• What helps us feel safe enough to be more fully ourselves?\n• How can peer support create spaces of shared power\, belonging\, and care?\n\nThis is not a therapy group and there is no expectation to share. You are welcome to participate actively\, listen quietly\, reflect privately\, keep your camera off\, use chat\, or simply arrive as you are.\n\nOur aim is to co-create a space that is affirming\, anti-pathologising\, trauma-aware\, and rooted in peer connection. We are not here to fix anyone. We are here to explore\, witness\, relate\, and build spaces where messy\, brave\, playful\, questioning\, contradictory\, and whole selves can belong.\n\nDate: Sunday 14 June 2026\nTime: 19:00 CEST / GMT+2 – 13:00 EDT / 10:00 PDT\nLocation: NDB – Online\nFormat: Peer-led support circle\nHosted by: NDB Events team\nContact : events@neurodiversity.be\n\nRegistration required to receive the Teams Link

SUMMARY:Accessibility Review Journey in Belgium by Uit met Autisme
DESCRIPTION:11-17 June 2026 | Belgium | CEST / Brussels time \nLanguage: Dutch \nA Day Trip Starts at Home is an accessibility-focused review journey by Stichting Uit met Autisme\, taking place during Neurodiversity Pride Week. The initiative highlights why clear information before a visit is not a luxury for autistic and sensory-sensitive visitors\, but often a condition for being able to take part independently. \nFor many people\, a day out begins at the entrance of a museum\, animal park\, attraction\, hotel or leisure location. For autistic people and people who are sensitive to sensory input\, the experience often begins much earlier: at home\, while trying to understand what the visit will be like. \nQuestions such as “How busy will it be?”\, “Will there be queues?”\, “Is there a lot of noise?”\, “Are there bright lights?”\, “Is there a quiet place?”\, “Where are the toilets?”\, “How clear is the signage?”\, and “Can I find reliable information beforehand?” can determine whether a visit feels possible\, stressful\, or impossible. \nDuring this review journey through Belgium\, Stichting Uit met Autisme will look at how leisure locations communicate accessibility\, sensory information and practical details before and during a visit. The focus is not only on what happens on site\, but also on how well visitors can prepare from home. \nThe foundation works with a structured audit approach\, looking at factors such as sound\, light\, crowds\, queues\, rest options\, signage\, hospitality\, toilets\, parking\, reception and pre-visit communication. The goal is not to shame locations\, but to make visible where information is missing and where reasonable changes could help more visitors participate independently. \nThis initiative connects strongly with Neurodiversity Pride Week because pride is also about access to everyday life.

SUMMARY:NEURODIVERSITY PRIDE FOR JOB SEEKERS
DESCRIPTION:Job search is a process full of dread for many people\, especially neurodivergent ones.\n“Who will take me\, with my challenges?”\n“What if I get rejected?”\n“How can I fit in their job description?”\, etc. \nAnd what if…..you look at it differently? \nNot Them versus You\, but more two parties looking for a good fit.\nThey have a job to offer\, and you can offer abilities\, vision\, talents\, creativity\,….. the gifts of being neurodivergent. In exchange for which you need good working conditions to let those gifts blossom. \nI want to offer you a different way to approach a job search.\nWhere you are empowered to take as much control as possible in a process that puts you at the centre. To be authentic\, and to select jobs on that basis. Not by adapting too much and masking who you are. But by thoroughly preparing each step so you feel more confident. With a tool to do job research in a softer way before even applying. \nYes\, a job search is a lot of work\, it takes time and effort. And the reward can be a job where you feel good\, where you can contribute and develop. \nThis workshop will be offered this time in the afternoon\, and at a slightly later date\, in the evening.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Financial Wellbeing for Neurodivergent Adults
DESCRIPTION:🌈 Neurodiversity Pride Week 2026 \nRethinking Financial Wellbeing for Neurodivergent Adults\nLed by Emeka Ajogbe (Prosperiium) \n“You are not bad with money.” \nMany neurodivergent adults have spent years carrying stories about themselves that were never really true.\nThat they are irresponsible.\nThat they lack discipline.\nThat they cannot be trusted with finances. \nBut what if the issue was never a personal failing?\nWhat if financial challenges were shaped by executive functioning differences\, overwhelm\, burnout\, impulsivity\, people-pleasing\, inaccessible systems\, or years of navigating a world not designed for the way your brain works?\nAs part of Neurodiversity Pride Week\, this interactive workshop explores the relationship between money\, self-trust\, safety\, and identity.\nUsing anonymous polling and shared reflection\, we will explore experiences that many neurodivergent people carry privately: \n\nPretending to understand financial information when you didn’t.\nAvoiding money conversations because shame arrived first.\nSaying yes when you meant no.\nFeeling judged by systems that were never built with neurodivergent people in mind.\n\nTogether\, we will challenge common narratives and explore more compassionate alternatives: \n\n“I wasn’t bad with money. I was overwhelmed.”\n“That wasn’t irresponsibility. It may have been dysregulation\, executive overload\, or a system that didn’t fit.”\n“I didn’t fail at money management. I may never have been given tools that worked for me.”\n\nNeurodiversity Pride is about more than celebrating difference. It is about creating environments where neurodivergent people can thrive with dignity\, understanding\, and self-determination. \n📅 15 June 2026\n🕢 19:30 CEST\n📍 Online

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity Pride Day with NDBI - Brussels
DESCRIPTION:Neurodiversity Pride Day with NDBI – Brussels\nTuesday 16 June 2026 | From 14:30 CEST / Brussels time | Brussels\, Belgium \nLanguage: French \nNeurodiversity Pride Day with NDBI is a French-language community event in Brussels organised by NeuroDivergent Brain Intelligences asbl. The day invites neurodivergent people\, relatives\, professionals and interested community members to come together for exchange\, reflection and shared pride. \nThe event begins from a clear and powerful message: proud to be neurodivergent\, proud to exist\, proud to bring different ways of seeing the world. Too often\, conversations about neurodivergence focus only on difficulties. This gathering also makes space for creativity\, authenticity\, insight\, self-determination and the capacity to notice what others may not see. \nFor NDBI\, Neurodiversity Pride Day is not only a celebration. It is also a message: neurodivergent people do not have to apologise for being different. The event creates room for people to meet\, think together\, share perspectives and reflect on what neurodiversity means personally\, socially and politically. \nThe programme includes an afternoon meeting on philosophy and neurodiversity\, followed by an evening session on history\, politics\, and Belgian and European societal issues. Together\, these sessions invite participants to look at neurodiversity not only as an individual experience\, but also as part of wider questions about rights\, recognition\, inclusion and the future of society. \nThis event connects strongly with Neurodiversity Pride Week because it centres neurodivergent voices\, dignity\, community and collective reflection. It is a place for people to be present as they are\, whether they are autistic\, ADHD\, AuDHD\, DYS\, HPI\, a relative\, a professional\, or simply someone who wants to understand these questions more deeply. \nProgramme\n\n14:30: Philosophy & Neurodiversity meeting\n18:30: Meeting on history\, politics\, and Belgian and European societal issues\n\nPractical information\n\nEvent: Neurodiversity Pride Day with NDBI\nDate: Tuesday 16 June 2026\nTime: from 14:30 CEST / Brussels time\nLocation: 14 rue du Meiboom\, 1000 Brussels\, Belgium\nLanguage: French\nOrganiser: NeuroDivergent Brain Intelligences asbl\nReservation: required by SMS: 0465 66 12 52\nPlaces: limited\nWebsite: www.ndbi.eu\n\nWhat to expect\n\nA French-language Neurodiversity Pride Day gathering in Brussels\nReflection on neurodivergent pride\, self-determination and community\nA philosophy and neurodiversity meeting in the afternoon\nAn evening discussion on history\, politics and Belgian/European societal issues\nA welcoming space for autistic\, ADHD\, AuDHD\, DYS\, HPI and other neurodivergent people\nSpace for relatives\, professionals and people interested in neurodiversity to take part\n\nThis event may be especially relevant for neurodivergent people in Belgium\, French-speaking community members\, relatives\, professionals\, advocates\, researchers and anyone interested in neurodiversity\, self-determination\, social change and the right to exist without apology. \nView more information from NDBI here \nThe event is organised independently\, shared via https://www.instagram.com/neurodivergentbrainintelligent.

For the first time\, a representative of the Tourettian peoples\, are asked for the “main”. Emma is a compassionate hero\, and her voice and message\, have gotten to be particularly important this year. \nEmma’s work speaks strongly to the spirit of Neurodiversity Pride Day: moving away from shame\, mockery\, isolation and misunderstanding\, and toward dignity\, recognition\, community and care. In a world where many people with Tourette Syndrome and other neurodivergent experiences are still misrepresented or treated as a punchline\, Emma’s voice helps remind us that education\, compassion and acceptance are not soft ideas – they are necessary forms of social change. \nAcross her public work\, Emma invites people to look beyond stereotypes and to understand the real lives\, strengths\, challenges and humanity of people with Tourette Syndrome. Her work resonates with the wider purpose of Neurodiversity Pride Day: creating a world where neurodivergent people do not have to hide\, shrink themselves\, or carry the burden of other people’s ignorance. \nThis keynote is a annual part of the global Neurodiversity Pride Day programme: a celebration created by and for neurodivergent people\, and joined by allies\, organisations\, schools\, workplaces\, cities and communities around the world. \nJoin us for this main keynote with Emma McNally\, and be part of a global day of neurodivergent pride\, visibility and connection.

SUMMARY:Ont-moeting: neurodivergentie
DESCRIPTION:Voel jij je soms overweldigd door prikkels\, sociale druk of maatschappelijke verwachtingen? Heb je het gevoel dat communicatie in relaties niet altijd vanzelf loopt? Of herken je jezelf in het gevoel anders te functioneren dan wat vaak als “de norm” wordt gezien? \nDan ben je welkom tijdens deze sessie rond neurodivergentie. Ook wanneer je jezelf herkent in neurodivergente ervaringen\, zonder label of diagnose\, ben je welkom. Vaak voelen mensen zich “niet genoeg” om ergens bij te horen of twijfelen ze of ze wel tot een doelgroep behoren. Net daarom willen we inzetten op herkenbaarheid en inclusiviteit: deze workshop is er voor iedereen die zich hierin herkent. \nWe staan stil bij thema’s zoals prikkelverwerking\, sociale verwachtingen\, maskeren\, communicatie in relaties en de impact van constante sociale druk. Tegelijk creëren we ruimte om ervaringen te delen\, herkenning te vinden en milder naar jezelf te leren kijken. \nBroeinest organiseert deze workshop voor studenten\, gericht om het op een leuke manier te hebben over groei en persoonlijke ontwikkeling. Deze sessie doen we in samenwerking met ervaringsdeskundige Shannon Van den Borre. \nWe ontmoeten elkaar in een gezellige plek in Gent. Aan de hand van tekst\, beeld en praktische oefeningen reikt Broeinest handvatten aan waar elk van jullie verdere stappen mee zal kunnen zetten. \nmax. 8 deelnemers. Ont-moeting op 16 juni van 19u tot 21u voor studenten en net-afgestudeerden tussen 18 en 30 jaar.

DESCRIPTION:Replay & Closing Day\nWednesday 17 June 2026 | Online | Part of Neurodiversity Pride Week \nReplay & Closing Day is the final day of Neurodiversity Pride Week: a day to look back\, reconnect\, share highlights\, and revisit the voices\, stories and ideas that shaped this year’s celebration. \nAfter a week of science\, solidarity\, gaming\, dancing\, activities\, flag hoistings\, keynotes\, community events and Pride celebrations\, Replay Day brings the movement together again online. It is a calmer closing space where people can watch recordings\, discover moments they missed\, and feel connected to the wider global Neurodiversity Pride community\, as we’re all watching it at the same time. \nThroughout the day\, we stream ND Pride-related speeches\, workshops\, interviews\, talks and community content online. You can join for a few minutes\, watch a full session\, return throughout the day\, or simply keep the stream open as a gentle companion while you reflect on the week. \nReplay & Closing Day is also an invitation to rest\, to relax. Pride is not only about visibility and celebration; it is also about integration\, reflection and care. After the energy of Neurodiversity Pride Day itself\, this final day offers a softer landing: time to remember what happened\, honour what was shared\, and carry the message forward. \nWhat to expect\n\nA 24-hour online stream of ND Pride-related content\nRecordings of speeches\, workshops\, talks and community moments\nHighlights from Neurodiversity Pride Week around the world\nA calmer closing space after the main Pride celebrations\nA chance to discover sessions and stories you may have missed\nTime to reflect on neurodivergent pride\, dignity\, self-acceptance and community\n\nWho is it for?\nReplay & Closing Day is for neurodivergent people\, family members\, friends\, allies\, educators\, researchers\, professionals\, organisations and anyone who wants to learn from the voices and experiences shared during Neurodiversity Pride Week. \nYou do not need to attend the full stream. You are welcome to join in the way that works for you: watch one video\, follow several sessions\, return later\, listen quietly\, share with others\, or simply take in the feeling of being part of a global celebration of neurodivergent minds. While the stream may continue broadcasting longer that 24 hours\, the official end of this day\, is 23.59 in each timezone. \nClosing the week\, carrying it forward\nNeurodiversity Pride Week may close on 17 June\, to make space for our friends celebrating Autistic Pride Day on the 18th\, but the meaning of the week continues. The recordings\, stories and ideas shared on Replay & Closing Day are reminders that neurodivergent people are not alone\, that our minds are part of human diversity\, and that every act of visibility can help build a more accepting world. \nEvery brain is beautiful. Every story matters. Every moment of pride can become part of something larger.

Pensez aux personnes introverties\, hypersensibles\, autistes\, TDAH\, dyslexiques et surdouées. \nAccorder de l’attention à la neurodiversité et investir dans la neurodiversité a un impact significatif sur votre équipe et votre organisation. Les organisations neuroinclusives excellent en matière de productivité\, d’innovation\, et de satisfaction des employés et des clients.

Elle propose des pistes de réflexion sur les défis courants et met en lumière les forces et la valeur uniques qu’apportent les collaborateurs neurodivergents. Vous y apprendrez des approches pratiques et des stratégies concrètes pour démarrer. De plus\, nous partagerons nos propres expériences ainsi que celles de nos clients. Cette présentation vise à stimuler une réflexion plus approfondie et à inspirer un engagement futur envers les pratiques neuroinclusives. \nDécouvrez la valeur de la diversité des cerveaux au sein de votre organisation et de votre équipe.
