Connections

Workshop

This event will provide a relaxed and flexible social environment where young people can spend time together and connect through shared interests.

Activity areas will include:
• LEGO building and creative play
• Arts and crafts activities
• Board games and card games
• A gaming area where participants may bring their own devices
• Optional creative demonstrations or activities led by our contributing artist Lorenzo Papace.

This event will also provide the opportunity for this group to showcase their artistic creations.

Participation will be entirely optional and flexible, allowing young people to engage with activities at their own pace and in ways that feel comfortable to them.
The focus of the event is on social connection, creativity, and community, rather than formal instruction or therapy.

This event aims to create a safe, welcoming, and low-pressure social space where neurodivergent young people can meet peers, build friendships, and feel comfortable being themselves.

This event is open to neurodivergent young people aged between for 9-14 year old.
