Thought-provoking conversations to inform our lives as Upstanders
Held on the second Friday of the month, every second month, each Conversation focuses on a topic affecting contemporary society that is directly relevant to Courage to Care. Feel uplifted, more informed, more engaged and and better equipped to speak on the issues.
Coming up: “Neurodiversity in the Classroom” – Friday 10 October, 10.00am – 12.00pm.
Around 1 in 5 Australians are estimated to be neurodivergent, including conditions such as ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia. But what does it really mean to be neurodiverse? How can we recognise strengths as well as challenges? Explore how understanding neurodiversity can foster inclusive classrooms where all students feel supported and able to thrive.

You don’t have to review all the material! But you will get the most out of the Conversation if you review just one or two resources in advance. If you don’t have time to prepare, come along anyway! All ideas and reflections are welcome.
All members of the Courage to Care Community are welcome
