How to Thrive in 2050? On neurodiversity and creative knowledge exchange with Kai Syng Tan

How to Thrive in 2050? On neurodiversity and creative knowledge exchange

Online interactive seminar via zoom | 9th May 2023 | 14:00-15:30

nb: this event has been rescheduled from 21/03 to 09/05.

What could or should a more equitable and creative 2050 look like? How should we extend our tentacles and to network with others, including members of different species? What existing and new networks can we form to solidarise and exchange knowledge? Through clips from a commissioned film about a ‘neuro-futuristic’ 2050, How to Thrive in 2050? which premiered on BBC iPlayer, we will break into groups and strategise creative approaches that prioritise neurodiversity and creativity.
