We warmly invite you to Neurodiversity Pride Day on June 16, 2025, at The Hague University of Applied Sciences!
This special day is dedicated to celebrating the power of neurodiversity. Everyone thinks and learns in their own way, and this diversity makes our society richer. Together, we show that our differences make us stronger and are a source of innovation and inspiration.
Why is this day so important to us at THUAS? Because we believe that everyone deserves an environment where they feel heard, understood, and supported. By embracing neurodiversity, we create an inclusive culture where all talents can thrive.
It’s a joyful occasion to share successes, exchange experiences, and inspire one another!
