Course description
On the occasion of neurodiversity celebration week, team Students Support Students is organising two inspiring workshops on the theme.
How to study as a neurodivergent student
Tuesday 18 March - 18:30-20:00h - Forum room B0503
Group work, organization, planning, and loud classrooms, studying at university can ask a lot of you as a neurodivergent student. You are not alone in this. Do you want to talk to other students experiencing the same? Do you want to share tips and tricks and learn how to navigate university as a neurodivergent student? Join us for this activity! We will be discussing common problems as well as investigating unique strengths of neurodiversity.
Boost your (Neuro)divergent Thinking
Thursday 20 March - 18:30-21:30h - FOrum room B0229
Divergent thinking helps with problem-solving, creativity, and coming up with innovative and unique ideas. This is a common strength of neurodivergent people! But it is something that everybody can learn and improve at. Everybody is welcome at this activity! Through a host of activities, we will discover how we can improve our divergent thinking and become more creative while having fun.
Neurodivergent Thesis Group | Support Community
Tuesday 25 March - 16:30-20:00h - Forum room B0409
Do you have (a type of) autism, ADHD, or do you consider yourself neurodiverse in a different way? Or do you think you might be neurodiverse? (You don’t need a diagnosis). And are you currently working on a thesis or about to? Then join us for this neurodivergent thesis group.
Neurodivergent students often have particular struggles during their thesis, for example related to executive functioning or planning. This is a safe and open space to discuss anything you are struggling with during your thesis and to share tips and tricks with others who experience the same. A thesis can often feel lonely, but it does not need to be that way. Many other people are going through the same process.
This is a trial session, if it is successful we want to make this a (weekly or biweekly) recurring thesis group.
