This meetup is for anyone who is neurodivergent or interested in learning about neurodiversity & creating inclusive spaces. Open to everyone.
What is it?
Our Neurodiversity Meetup has been created as a space for Neurodivergent (ND) people and allies working in the Scottish Tech Ecosystem to meet and discuss how we can make our spaces more inclusive to neurodivergent individuals.
What can I expect?
The theme for this month is Neurodiversity in the workplace. We'll be talking about reasonable adjustments, unreasonable treatment, benefits and more. This is a group-led discussion.
If you have a topic you'd like to see be discussed or a speaker/facilitator you would love to recommend, please get in touch at events.edinburgh@thisiscodebase.com.
Where and when is this taking place?
This meetup will take place from 1-2pm on Thursday 21st September at CodeBase Edinburgh, 37a Castle Terrace, Edinburgh, EH1 2EL. We will be in Bruntsfield Links - for those not based in CodeBase Edinburgh, please meet at reception and someone will show you through to the room. There is also the option to join online.
Who will be there?
The event is open to everyone, whether neurodivergent or neurotypical, who is keen to discuss creating inclusive space.
The event is organised and facilitated by Sarah (they/her), Events & Digitals Coordinator, CodeBase.
