Lectures & workshops

One of our core purposes at Neurokind is to spread knowledge about neurodiversity in many different parts of society, so we can create better conditions for the well-being of neurodivergent people.

That's why we offer lectures and workshops on many different topics within the field of neurodiversity. We have special expertise in knowledge about autism, life as a neuro-minority, and neurodivergent communities and workplaces. We have held lectures and workshops both in Denmark and in the Faroe Islands.

Our focus

Our work is all about sharing knowledge, creating understanding, and inspiring new ways of living and working that promote the well-being of many different neurotypes.

In Neurokind, we are experts in the lives and well-being of neurodivergent individuals (mostly autists and those with ADHD), ranging from childhood and family life to neurodivergent nervous systems and workplace relationships.

As thorough knowledge from both research and the lived experiences of neurodivergent individuals is one of the most important prerequisites for companies and organizations to create a genuinely neuro-inclusive structure and culture, we focus extensively on knowledge dissemination. This can take the form of lectures, workshops, and individual counseling, all depending on the needs.

Neuro-inclusive workplaces

Lectures & workshops for companies

There are great human and professional benefits to having a diverse workplace: neurodivergent and other minorities alike have unique perspectives and qualities to contribute, often to the benefit of their communities. At the same time, it can place demands on the workplace if neurodivergent employees are meant to thrive and use their talents on the job without succumbing to stress.

We work to provide knowledge and insights to help companies create a truly inclusive culture for neurodivergent employees. We usually tailor the content of workshops and lectures to the needs of the company, but relevant topics could include:

Introduction to neurodivergence (with a focus on autism and ADHD)
Stress prevention in neurodivergent people
Neuro-inclusive communication in professional environments
Introduction to neurodiversity, senses, and the work environment
Neurodivergent meaning and motivation in the workplace
How to support the well-being of neurodivergent employees?
How to make hiring processes more inclusive for neurodivergent people?

Organizations with neurodiversity as their field of work

Lectures & workshops for organizations and institutions

Many organizations and institutions have neurodivergent users, such as educational institutions, schools/special services, municipalities, health clinics, etc. etc. In these environments it is particularly important that employees and managers at all levels have a very good knowledge of neurodivergence and the living conditions of neurodivergent people, so they can to create the best possible framework for mutual understanding and cooperation with neurodivergent citizens, pupils, students or patients and their loved ones.

We provide knowledge and insight with a special emphasis on the valuable "inside perspective", in order to help organizations qualify their employees to meet neurodivergent people (who often have very different living conditions and prerequisites). We focus on building deep understanding, sharing solutions to common issues, and counteracting misunderstandings and stigmatization.

We usually tailor the content of workshops and lectures to the organization's wishes and needs, but relevant topics could include:

Introduction to neurodivergence (with a focus on autism and ADHD)
Neurodivergent wellbeing in a neuro-normative society
Neuro-supportive work with neurodivergent families
Autism and ADHD in women and girls
Introduction to neurodivergent senses and nervous systems
Roleplay as a space for creative neurodivergent communities
Stress and strain in neurodivergent children and adults

Tailored lectures & workshops

Practical information & booking

Most of the talks and workshops we organize are tailored to the occasion. When you book a lecture or workshop, we do our best to identify the needs and wishes of you and your organization, and we design materials and activities for the occasion. We have a wide range of competencies at Neurokind, and if there are special requests, we will bring in one of our skilled partners, e.g. a skilled psychologist with many years of experience working with neurodivergent people.

Of course, our events are always neuro-inclusive. This means that there is always room for participants (regardless of neurotype) to accommodate their own needs, e.g. by taking breaks, looking at their phones, not reading the text on slides, wearing headphones, or whatever else is needed. We know that everyone learns in their own way, and we need to make room for that. Participants always have the opportunity to say yes or no to activities and ask for consideration if needed. We also always send slides from our workshops to participants after presentations and workshops, so they can review the material at their own pace.

If you prefer, we're also happy to hold lectures and workshops online over Zoom. This can be a good idea to create accessibility for e.g. employees who work from home.

We hold lectures and workshops in both Danish and English.

Price by agreement. Transportation costs must be expected for engagements outside the Greater Copenhagen area.

If you would like to book a tailor-made workshop or lecture, please write to us at hello@neurokind.dk (preferably well in advance so we have the time to nerd out on the details; we really enjoy that).

Knowledge-sharing for all

Webinars

From time to time we run shorter online workshops on various topics related to autism and neurodiversity that are open to everyone. Details on the content and price of these workshops will be announced in due time here on the website and on our Instagram @neurokind_dk

We aim to keep these workshops as affordable as possible and there will always be some pay what you can seats available. Read about our approach to financial accessibility here.

If there are specific topics you would really like to see a webinar on, please feel free to send suggestions to hello@neurokind.dk.
