SUMMARY:International Keynotes: Emma McNally
DESCRIPTION:Main International Keynote #1: Emma McNally – “Breaking the Shame in a Imperfect World”\nAnnual tradition of Neurodiversity Pride Day \nWe are honoured to welcome Emma McNally as one of the two main international keynote speakers for Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026. Each year we invite 2 daring pioneers to share their message with the neurodivergent community. See the video at the bottom of this event post. For earlier keynotes\, you can watch some of the best ones on the Replay page. \nEmma McNally is the CEO of Tourettes Action\, a keynote speaker\, neurodiversity educator\, storyteller and author. Through her leadership\, advocacy and public voice\, Emma has helped bring greater visibility to Tourette Syndrome\, challenge harmful misconceptions\, and strengthen the call for better understanding\, diagnosis\, treatment and support. 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. The spoken language will be English. The talk will premiere on this page at exactly 10.00 CEST June 16th. If you cannot ‘start the video’ it means the event has not started yet.

SUMMARY:Neurodiversiteitsrede 20226 |  Chella Valkering | National Keynote on Neurodiversity for the Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Dinsdag 16 juni 2026 | 11.00 uur CEST / Nederlandse tijd | Online \nTaal: Nederlands \nVoor de Nederlandse editie van Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026 verwelkomen we Chella Valkering als spreker van de jaarlijkse Neurodiversiteitsrede. \nDe Neurodiversiteitsrede is een moment op Neurodiversity Pride Day waarop we ruimte maken voor een pionier uit de neurodivergente gemeenschap: iemand die woorden geeft aan wat er leeft\, wat er schuurt\, wat er mogelijk wordt\, en wat we als samenleving beter mogen leren zien. In het verleden zijn er sprekers geweest als Jelle van Dijk\, Nico Baken\, Tjerk Feitsma\, Suzanne Rouwhorst\, Stephanie Raber\, Faith Bruyning en Samatha Stein. \nIn 2026 wordt deze rede “Het Kantelpunt” uitgesproken door Chella Valkering\, oprichter van Gek Genoeg. Met Gek Genoeg zet zij zich in om schadelijk stigma te doorbreken en neurodiversiteit de norm te maken. Haar werk richt zich op een samenleving waarin neurodivergente mensen niet steeds opnieuw hoeven te bewijzen\, verbergen of uitleggen wie zij zijn\, maar kunnen meedoen op een manier die past. \n \nChella brengt een stem die helder\, menselijk en dichtbij is\, maar ook ‘meters maakt’. Ze schrijft\, verbindt\, onderzoekt en benoemt. Vanuit haar eigen ervaring als laat gediagnostiseerde autist weet ze hoe stigma\, onbegrip en een neurotypische norm mensen kunnen vastzetten. Juist daarom maakt zij ruimte voor herkenning\, taal\, nuance en nieuwe beelden van wat neurodivergent leven kan zijn. \nMet Gek Genoeg groeide Chella in korte tijd uit tot een belangrijke nieuwe stem binnen het Nederlandse neurodiversiteitsveld. Niet door hard te roepen\, maar door zorgvuldig te luisteren\, verhalen zichtbaar te maken\, taal te verbeteren en vragen te stellen die nodig zijn. Haar werk raakt aan zorg\, werk\, communicatie\, media\, zelfbegrip en de manier waarop we als samenleving omgaan met bijzondere breinen. \nWe …..weten nog niet precies waar Chella in haar Neurodiversiteitsrede over zal spreken. En dat is misschien juist passend. Een goede rede is geen productomschrijving\, maar een uitnodiging om te luisteren. Op 16 juni geeft Chella haar woorden aan de Nederlandse neurodivergente gemeenschap\, en aan iedereen die mee wil bouwen aan een samenleving waarin neurodiversiteit niet langer uitzondering is\, maar onderdeel van het geheel. \nPraktische informatie\n\nEvent: Neurodiversiteitsrede NL\nSpreker: Chella Valkering\nDatum: dinsdag 16 juni 2026\nTijd: 11.00 uur CEST / Nederlandse tijd\nLocatie: online\, de link zal op deze pagina toegevoegd worden.\nTaal: Nederlands\nOnderdeel van: Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026 – Nederland\n\nOver Chella Valkering\nChella Valkering is oprichter van Gek Genoeg\, communicatiespecialist\, schrijver en consultant. Met haar platform werkt zij aan het doorbreken van schadelijk stigma en het versnellen van de transitie naar een neuro-inclusieve samenleving. \nHaar werk vertrekt vanuit de overtuiging dat neurodivergente mensen niet het probleem zijn\, maar dat veel problemen ontstaan wanneer mensen moeten functioneren in systemen die niet op hun brein zijn afgestemd. Door verhalen\, kennis\, communicatie en samenwerking maakt Chella ruimte voor meer begrip\, meer eerlijkheid en meer menselijkheid. \nWaarom deze rede ertoe doet\nNeurodiversity Pride Day is een dag van trots\, zelfacceptatie\, zichtbaarheid en gemeenschap. De Nederlandse Neurodiversiteitsrede is een moment om stil te staan bij waar we vandaan komen\, waar we nu staan\, en welke woorden we nodig hebben om verder te komen. Deze traditie is in Nederland begonnen\, maar word nu in vele landen gedaan. Met Chella Valkering krijgt de Neurodiversiteitsrede NL een warme\, scherpe en oprechte stem: iemand die niet alleen spreekt over neurodiversiteit\, maar midden in de beweging staat. \nLuister mee op 16 juni om 11.00 uur\, de link zal op deze pagina gedeeld worden\, en….. vier Neurodiversity Pride Day op jouw eigen manier. \n

SUMMARY:Nationale Jeugd Keynote | Hans Bruintjes | Youth Keynote 2026 - Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Dinsdag 16 juni 2026 | Nederlandse tijd | Online \nTaal: Nederlands \nVoor de Nederlandse editie van Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026 verwelkomen we Hans Bruintjes als spreker van de Jeugd Keynote NL. \nDe Jeugd Keynote is een bijzondere traditie binnen Neurodiversity Pride Day Nederland. Eerdere jeugdkeynotes werden uitgesproken door onder anderen Elijah Delsink en Jopie Kooijmans. Het is een moment waarop we ruimte maken voor een jonge of nieuwe pionier uit de neurodivergente gemeenschap: iemand die niet alleen iets te vertellen heeft over zichzelf\, maar ook over de wereld waarin neurodivergente jongeren\, studenten en volwassenen hun weg proberen te vinden. \nIn 2026 wordt deze keynote uitgesproken door Hans Bruintjes. Hans is onderzoeker\, juridisch denker en belangenbehartiger op het gebied van neurodiversiteit\, inclusie en discriminatie. Hij is ook Research Fellow van de Neurodiversity Foundation. In zijn werk onderzoekt hij hoe systemen\, regels\, procedures en beleidskeuzes kunnen bijdragen aan uitsluiting\, maar ook hoe ze veranderd kunnen worden om neurodivergente mensen beter te beschermen en meer ruimte te geven. \nHans brengt een stem die jong\, scherp en inhoudelijk sterk is. Hij spreekt vanuit een combinatie van onderzoek\, juridische analyse\, maatschappelijke betrokkenheid en persoonlijke missie. Zijn werk laat zien dat discriminatie tegen neurodivergente mensen niet altijd zichtbaar of luid is. Vaak zit het juist in systemen die neutraal lijken: in schooladvies\, sollicitatieprocedures\, zorgpaden\, gemeentelijk beleid\, hulpverlening\, rapportages en regels die niet goed aansluiten op hoe verschillende breinen functioneren. \nMet zijn publicatie De stem van de neurodivergent bracht Hans ervaringen van honderden neurodivergente mensen samen rondom discriminatie in onderwijs\, arbeid\, zorg en contact met de overheid. Daarmee maakt hij zichtbaar wat vaak onzichtbaar blijft: dat uitsluiting niet alleen gaat over incidenten\, maar ook over terugkerende patronen\, gemiste signalen en systemen die nog te weinig rekening houden met neurodivergente mensen. \nWe weten nog niet precies waar Hans in zijn Jeugd Keynote over zal spreken. Maar zijn werk en aanwezigheid passen sterk bij de betekenis van Neurodiversity Pride Day: niet alleen vieren wie we zijn\, maar ook eerlijk kijken naar wat er nog moet veranderen. Zeker voor jongeren en jonge volwassenen is dat belangrijk. Want wie opgroeit in een wereld waar je brein vaak verkeerd begrepen wordt\, heeft niet alleen steun nodig\, maar ook taal\, rechten\, erkenning en voorbeelden van mensen die laten zien dat verandering mogelijk is. \nMet Hans Bruintjes krijgt de Jeugd Keynote NL een nieuwe\, belangrijke stem: iemand die de ervaringen van neurodivergente mensen serieus neemt\, de systemen daarachter onderzoekt\, en zoekt naar manieren waarop beleid\, recht en samenleving menselijker kunnen worden. De Youth Keynote zal zijn premiere hebben op 16 Juni\, en de link om deze te volgen\, zal gedeeld worden op deze pagina. \nPraktische informatie\n\nEvent: Jeugd Keynote NL\nSpreker: Hans Bruintjes\nDatum: dinsdag 16 juni 2026\nTijd: 13:00 / Nederlandse tijdzone\nLocatie: online\, de link naar de talk zal op deze pagina gedeeld worden.\nTaal: Nederlands\nOnderdeel van: Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026 – Nederland\n\n \n\n\nOver Hans Bruintjes\nHans Bruintjes is juridisch- en beleidsonderzoeker en adviseur met een specialisatie in recht\, neurodiversiteit en inclusie. Hij houdt zich bezig met onderzoek\, beleidsanalyse en belangenbehartiging rond discriminatie\, toegankelijkheid\, onderwijs\, arbeidsparticipatie en neurodiversiteit. \nAls Research Fellow van de Neurodiversity Foundation onderzoekt Hans de structurele en culturele voorwaarden die nodig zijn om neurodivergente mensen volwaardig te laten deelnemen aan de samenleving. Zijn werk verbindt juridische precisie met maatschappelijke betrokkenheid en ervaringskennis. \nWaarom deze keynote ertoe doet\nNeurodiversity Pride Day is een dag van trots\, zelfacceptatie\, zichtbaarheid en gemeenschap. De Jeugd Keynote NL voegt daar iets belangrijks aan toe: de blik vooruit. Wat hebben neurodivergente jongeren en jonge volwassenen nodig om niet alleen te overleven\, maar werkelijk mee te doen? Welke systemen moeten veranderen? Welke woorden\, rechten en voorbeelden hebben we nodig? \nMet Hans Bruintjes krijgt deze vraag een stem die zowel persoonlijk als maatschappelijk is\, zowel onderzoekend als hoopvol\, en zowel kritisch als gericht op oplossingen. \nLuister mee op 16 juni\, en vier Neurodiversity Pride Day op jouw eigen manier. \n

SUMMARY:Neuro-Inclusive Storytelling & Living Library
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 16 June 2026 | 13:00 – 16:00 CEST / Rotterdam time | Rotterdam Central Library \nNeuro-Inclusive Storytelling & Living Library is an interactive afternoon at Rotterdam Central Library\, bringing together stories\, conversation\, creativity and lived experience on Neurodiversity Pride Day. \nThe event invites visitors to meet neurodivergent writers\, poets\, advocates and community voices who share personal stories of unmasking\, self-understanding\, difference\, visibility and belonging. Through the format of a “Living Library\,” people are invited into real conversations: not only reading stories on a page\, but meeting the people behind them. \nA Living Library offers a powerful way to challenge assumptions. Instead of borrowing a book\, visitors can speak with a “living book”: a person with a lived experience\, identity or story that may be misunderstood\, stereotyped or rarely heard directly. In this neuro-inclusive edition\, the focus is on neurodivergent lives\, voices and ways of making meaning. \nThis event connects strongly with Neurodiversity Pride Week because pride begins with being allowed to tell your own story. For many neurodivergent people\, unmasking is not simply a personal act; it is a social one. It means moving from being interpreted by others toward speaking in your own voice\, on your own terms. \nLibraries are natural places for this kind of meeting. They are spaces for stories\, learning\, access and public imagination. By bringing neurodivergent storytelling into a library setting\, this event helps make visible the richness\, complexity and humanity of different minds. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: Neuro-Inclusive Storytelling & Living Library\nDate: Tuesday 16 June 2026\nTime: 13:00 – 16:00 CEST / Rotterdam time\nLocation: Rotterdam Central Library\nAddress: to be confirmed by the organiser\nOrganisers: Bibliotheek Rotterdam / Neurodiversity Collective NL\nAudience: neurodivergent people\, writers\, poets\, advocates\, library visitors\, allies\, families\, educators and anyone interested in lived experience and storytelling\n\nWhat to expect\n\nAn interactive Living Library afternoon\nPersonal stories from neurodivergent writers\, poets and advocates\nConversations about unmasking\, identity\, creativity and belonging\nA chance to listen to lived experience beyond stereotypes\nA cultural and community-based contribution to Neurodiversity Pride Day\nA welcoming library setting for reflection\, dialogue and connection\n\nThis event may be especially relevant for people interested in neurodivergent storytelling\, creative writing\, poetry\, advocacy\, libraries\, inclusion\, unmasking\, identity\, cultural participation and public conversations that help reduce stigma. \nThis event has been suggested as a relevant contribution to the Neurodiversity Pride Week programme by the community. The event is organised independently and may not be exclusively created for ND Pride\, see the website of the organizer for details.
