A Year of Empowerment & Advocacy with ACTIVATE

This year Autistic youth, trainers, and researchers came together to co-create a programme celebrating neurodiversity and driving social change. From research with 97 autistic young people to building a six-unit curriculum covering advocacy, education, healthcare, employment, legal rights, and digital activism. We also created the Train-the-Trainer Programme, helping educators build inclusive, accessible spaces where every voice matters.

Now we are launching the Autism Advocacy Academy! In 2026 our curriculum will be piloted with 70 autistic youth in Malta, Portugal, Czechia, and Belgium.

Are you an autistic person aged 16-29 in Europe? Join the pilot and help shape a future led by advocacy, inclusion, and pride!
