How to Get Involved with Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2025
Neurodiversity Celebration Week (NCW) returns from the 17th – 23rd March 2025, bringing together schools, universities, organisations, and individuals from across the globe to celebrate different minds and promote neuro-inclusion. This year’s campaign is set to be bigger than ever, with an exciting schedule of 24 free virtual events and panel discussions over five days, continuing its mission to challenge stereotypes, break down barriers, and celebrate the strengths of neurodivergent individuals.
Why Neurodiversity Celebration Week Matters
Neurodiversity Celebration Week is more than just an event. It’s a movement that seeks to reshape the narrative around neurodiversity. Spearheaded by a global campaign, NCW highlights the value that neurodivergent individuals bring to workplaces, classrooms, and communities. It’s an opportunity to raise awareness, spark conversations, and inspire meaningful change in how society views and supports neurodivergent people.
The campaign, which first launched in 2018, has grown into a worldwide initiative, with participation from over 5,000 schools, 1,200 universities, 5,000 organisations, and 800 charities to date. In 2024, more than 160,000 people from 139 countries took part, marking a 51% increase in registrations from the previous year. This year, the campaign promises to build on that momentum with a powerful lineup of events, speakers, and resources designed to inspire, educate, and empower.
What’s Happening in 2025: Key Events and Highlights
The 2025 NCW event programme covers a wide range of topics that will appeal to students, educators, business leaders, and anyone passionate about neuro-inclusion. Among the standout sessions are:
