Understanding Neurodiversity: Designing an Inclusive Workspace

​It is estimated that in 10 people, 3-4 are neurodivergent. Yet the understanding people have of neurodiversity remains low. This means that over 30% of society's potential resources, market, and workforce remain untapped.

​No brain works exactly the same, but what exactly is neurodiversity? And how do we create environments that support a neurodiverse society?

​Understanding Neurodiversity : Designing an Inclusive Workspace is a virtual event that celebrates neurodiversity in Indonesia and aims to normalize and bring more understanding towards the neurodivergent community so that we all can be allies in multiple mediums/industries – be it in the workplace, tech industry, social setting in general, and more.

​Join us as we explore the world of neurodiversity and figure out how inclusivity can play a part in creating a welcoming environment for all. Tune in to our panel discussion, where our speakers discuss the neurodiversity framework, tech industry, and what allyship means, followed by a Q&A session while you also can explore our virtual event space.

​Then, join one of our interactive workshops on :
- Becoming an Ally in the Workplace with Pemuda Autisme Indonesia | lu.ma/PAI
- Design Jam for Neurodiversity with Project Lima | lu.ma/NeuroJam

​Limited spots are available and each workshop has a participant limit that's on a first come first serve basis, so register now for your chosen session and we hope to see you there! 👋
