The Ministry of Culture (MiCultura), through the Office of Equal Opportunities, conducted a number of activities at headquarters on March 21 with a view to giving the necessary tools to people with neurodiversity to face challenges of living with diagnoses from art.

Jorge Morales, Director of the Office of Equal Opportunities at the Ministry of Culture, stated that we are organizing activities to give visibility to the fact that not all brains work in the same way, there's a diversity in how individuals process information and stimuli. Between 15 and 20% of the world's population are considered as neurodivergent and in professional teams, neurodivergence people can be up to 30% more productive than neurotopic partners.

A briefing was held with an explanation of the concept of neurodivergence, diagnoses that come into it and adjustments for neurodiverse people directed by Dr. Guillermo Rodriguez, a psychiatrist with an occupational health specialist.

The teaching staff of the National Cultural Rights and Citizenship Department gave an art workshop that included dance classes - theater, TanCubo and folkloric dances.

The afternoon ended with the conversation, "My son, art and I," with parents of neurodiverse professional artists who shared their experiences while growing up and how they found out how to stimulate their children and have them open up space in the professional world.
