Club for neurodiverse persons at the University of Warsaw

The club is aimed at a broadly understood group of neurodivergent persons (including people on the autism spectrum or with ADHD) who are students and Ph.D. students of the University of Warsaw – you do not need an official diagnosis to apply!

Meetings at the club are held from April 4, 2024. The events are an opportunity to, among others: to spend time together and develop social competences.

Club meetings are intended for neurodiverse people from the student and doctoral community. They will take various forms: from creative and artistic, through self-help, to social competence workshops.

During the meetings, topics such as difficulties in establishing new relationships, loneliness or feeling lost in social situations are discussed. The club is, above all, a space for integration and having a good time.

Events within the Club for neurodiverse persons are conducted by volunteers from the UW community under the supervision of employees of the Psychological and Counselling Services Centre (CPP UW) and the Volunteer Centre of the University of Warsaw.

The meetings are held at the CPP UW at Pasteura 7 street on the first floor in room 106 every Thursday from April to June (except holidays). The number of places is limited. Registration for the  meetings are made via the registration form.
