Club for neurodiverse people at the University of Warsaw
The club is aimed at a broad group of neurodiverse individuals (including those on the autism spectrum or with ADHD) – no official diagnosis is required to join!
The club currently has two groups – one for undergraduates and one for doctoral students at the University of Warsaw. These events provide an opportunity to spend time together and develop social skills. These will take various forms: from creative and artistic activities, through self-help, to social skills workshops.
During meetings, topics such as difficulties in establishing new relationships, loneliness, and feeling lost in social situations are addressed. The club is primarily a space for integration and a pleasant time.
The Club’s events for neurodiverse individuals are led by volunteers from the University of Warsaw community, under the supervision of staff from the Psychological Support Center (CPP) and the University Volunteer Center (UCW).
Meetings are held at the CPP of the University of Warsaw at ul. Pasteura 7 (first floor, room 106). The space is wheelchair accessible.
The Student Club meets every Thursday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and the PhD Student Club meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
More information about the Club can be found on the websites of the Psychological Support Center and the University Volunteer Center. (available in Polish)
