When? 15 October 2022
ADHD Europe in partnership with our member organisation Impuls & Wortblind based in Netherlands have been preparing activities since 2021 to celebrate ‘the Power of ADHD’ at the European City of Science 2022 in Leiden.
The programme during the event in Leiden is sure to showcase creativity, fantasy, interviews and interactive sessions with experts in the field of ADHD as ‘Science makes our minds wonder!’
