Creating a New Story: Narrative Approach in Lifelong Education

 
 

Being “different”. What does it really mean? Is it about thinking, behaving, differently than other people?

But maybe it’s just about being WHO WE ARE and embracing it - without judgement, discrimination or comparisons. That would be the logical, kind of “makes sense” way. But we still see that there is a strong social stigma stemming from lack of knowledge, false perceptions and generalisations about people with ASD.

For any change to happen - the first is awareness. It's an ongoing process of having those conversations. Sometimes challenging, but always honest and leading towards social innovation and REAL impact. And always - including the PERSPECTIVE of people with ASD themselves and inviting others to re-evaluate their own perspectives, as it can and will lead to another experience no matter of your professional profile.

To bring real change in the field of education and the labour market and in society in general, we partnered with organisations and changemakers that will offer fresh perspectives and enable education professionals, companies with inspiration and tools to apply in their everyday work to create environment that is open and adjusted to the needs of people with ASD.
