What does it truly mean to be “different”? Is it about thinking or behaving in ways that do not match the majority? Or is it simply about being who we are, without prejudice, discrimination, or comparison?

The PERSPECTIVE project aims to shift how society views neurodiversity – particularly autism – by fostering understanding, honest conversations, and real social impact. Stigma often comes from misinformation and stereotypes. Through dialogue, education, and lived experiences, we can build more inclusive communities.

During this event, we will:

– Present the PERSPECTIVE project and its goals;

– Screen the short film created within the project;

– Open a space for discussion and reflection on neurodiversity, inclusion, and innovative educational approaches.

This event is for everyone – educators, students, employers, families, and anyone curious to understand autism from a more human and empowering perspective.
