Schools, Colleges & Universities
Many universities, schools and colleges are already lined up to participate in the 2025 Neurodiversity Umbrella Project, all with the shared objective to enable neurodiverse learners to thrive, achieve their potential, and enjoy successful careers. We think it is crucial to increase representation of children and young people who are living with and around neurodevelopmental conditions, creating environments that accept and embrace those who think differently.
Mini-Installations
This year, our offer for education settings is better than ever, as we aim to double the number of schools, colleges and universities with umbrella mini-installations. As part of the package, we offer access to exclusive webinars, teaching materials, assembly plans, a communications pack, as well as a box of umbrellas to brighten up your space.
In 2025, we are calling on more universities to take part in the Neurodiversity Umbrella Project helping to enable neurodiverse students to thrive and achieve their academic potential. Displays in university buildings and external umbrella installations on campus create a bold, colourful statement, recognising how integral a neurodiverse workforce is to academia, innovation, enterprise, research, and commercial success.
Resources for young people, by young people
As well as our exclusive assembly and lesson materials for participating schools, we have a range of free-to-access resources. With the help of our service users and funding from our project partners, we create magazines, booklets, and films for young people by young people. These include the excellent Umbrella Gang comic series and ‘Stories That Never Stand Still’ which beautifully presents children and young people’s personal experiences.
