Workshop Description
And it’s time to celebrate that fact! Developed particularly for KS3 and KS4 students, 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.
