Neurodiversity Umbrellas
Hundreds of brightly-coloured brollies have been suspended in the air above the market and beyond in Newark, to raise awareness and acceptance of neurological conditions.
The project was officially launched in partnership with the ADHD Neurodiversity Foundation. About one in ten people have dyslexia, one in 20 have ADHD and one in 60 are autistic and together with other conditions that makes up about a quarter of the population of this planet.
Quote….“In our culture, historically we have often considered those people as being less intelligent and less able, but we know that isn’t true. Over 30% of chief executives, entrepreneurs and self employed people have ADHD or dyslexia.”
The umbrellas have been installed by Newark Creates, a three year cultural programme in Newark and will remain in place until September.
