Neurodivergent by Nature: How ADHD Minds Can Drive the SDGs
Sept 17th @12:10pm - 12:30pm EST / 18:10 - 18:30 CEST
Our world is full of complex, messy problems. Climate. Education. Inequality…
These aren't neat, linear problems with simple solutions. They're chaotic. They're interconnected. They're the kind of puzzles that typical thinking provides unsustainable solutions.
The great news, is this is where ADHD brains thrive.
We see patterns in the chaos. We think in webs, not straight lines. We make wild connections that somehow... work…
The Sustainable Development Goals are ambitious - they need a different kind of thinking entirely. The kind of thinking that doesn't follow rulebooks.
This is our moment!
As someone with ADHD and Dyslexia, I've notcied my brain tackle problems in ways that others don’t. Now I want to show you how our natural traits - the curiosity that never stops, the energy, the ability to connect dots others don't even see - are exactly what these global challenges need.
We're not trying to fit into someone else's solution. We're built to create entirely new ones.
Are you ready to see how ADHD thinking could change everything?
