Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2027
Founded by Siena Castellon in 2018, Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences.

A World of Brains!
There are eight billion (eight billion!) human brains on Planet Earth – yet not one of them is the same. And it’s time to celebrate that fact! Developed to be accessible to a wide range of ages, A World of Brains – Celebrating Neurodivergence takes a uniquely interactive approach to all this, using appropriate dramas-based techniques to explore what we mean by neurodivergence – and why it actually helps humanity. Not only that, but it explores, too, some of the extraordinary work of Dr James Samuel Risien Russell – one of the very few black medical officers to serve in World War I.

The Great Brain Machine!
A human brain makes up less than 2% of our total body weight, yet it controls absolutely everything we do – at incredible speed! What “is” the brain? Why is it important – and how does it regulate and control our functions? Developed to be accessible to a wide range of ages, The Great Brain Machine answers all these questions (and more) by engaging participants in a variety of drama-based activities designed to uncover some of the mysteries of this amazing organ. And it takes a look, too, at the life and achievements of the Spanish artist and neuroscientist Santiago Ramon y Cajal.

Making the Most of Mental Health
This drama-based programme has been designed to support children in creating “toolkits for mental health” – and linking words to actions by celebrating them in rhyme.
