As lockdown gripped the country, millions turned to technology to maintain vital social contact and connection. For some brain injury survivors, the widening of the digital landscape actually opened fresh avenues of opportunity; bringing to light previously unimagined futures. Join survivors from brain injury charity Headway East London as they engage in creative conversation with experts from across the fields of neuropsychology, sociology and philosophy to explore the implications of society’s embrace of new digital communications. How can we ensure that the ‘new normal’ works for the neurodiverse? And what emerging practices and arrangements might hold the key to a more accessible future?
FREE – but pre-booking is essential
