Panel Discussion: “Toward a Neurodiverse Society”

Continuing my posts on “The World in Our Minds: Neurodiversity Exhibition 2023.”

In this exhibition, we refer to the worlds in which each of us lives as “brain worlds.”

Based on the idea that the world of the brain is shaped by the interaction between the “individual” and the “environment,” this exhibition promotes an understanding of neurodiversity by guiding visitors through five areas: “Diverse Worlds,” “The Richness of the Five Senses,” “Expanding Human Potential,” “Changing the Environment,” and “Building Society.”

We will also be hosting a talk session on the topic of neurodiversity. We’ll discuss how to create a society where everyone can reach their full potential through environmental adjustments and the enhancement of physical and cognitive abilities. We hope you’ll join us for this session as well!
