Starting this year as a Neurodiversity Pride Celebration event we aim to connect to a broad of people who can help us shape the PLACE TO BE for people who want to both discuss important themes and questions related to Neurodiversity and work to influence the landscape. A place where they can come to find a COMMUNITY, to evolve their THINKING, and move into DOING. Our wish is to co-create a more Neurodiversity Friendly World, and create the spaces where we can collaboratively reimagine, envision and activate ourselves towards this future.This year we are planting a seed with a limited budget, and an online gathering. But we profoundly hope to find enough co-creators, allies and sponsors to nurture and grow that seed into a strong, healthy multi-decade tradition of co-creations around cutting-edge discourse and valuable change-making and collaboration. <h2>About Neurodiversity Pride Celebrations</h2><a href="http://neurodiversiteit.nl/pride2022/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Neurodiversity Pride celebration</a>s are organized every year on June 18th since 2018.
