Dyslexia Awareness Week 2023

We want to celebrate the diversity of the dyslexic community and the rich variety of lived experiences of dyslexia.

That's why we have chosen the theme of Uniquely You for Dyslexia Awareness Week. You are special. You are distinctive. You are exceptional.

At the heart of our celebration is the profound understanding that each person's journey with dyslexia is an individual story. Like fingerprints, intricate and one-of-a-kind, no two experiences of dyslexia are the same. This year's theme captures the sentiment, emphasising the complexity and originality that resides within each individual with dyslexia.

From 2nd to 8th October 2023, we will celebrate individuals with dyslexia from all backgrounds and walks of life. We will enjoy learning about individual journeys with dyslexia and discovering the diversity of experiences in our community. Having dyslexia can bring its challenges but it also shapes experience and perspective and makes you Uniquely You. We want to inspire everyone to value and appreciate individuals with dyslexia.

Dan Glover, Student Experience Co-Ordinator at our Hastings Campus said “I am really excited to have a higher emphasis on Dyslexia Awareness than we have done previously. Students who would like to know more about Dyslexia or would like support or advice should definitely use this week as a chance to ask for the support. It’s good to reach out and ask for it and we have an incredible team who want to support our students whilst they study with us.”

We will be sharing a comprehensive set of resources to help you talk about dyslexia and increase awareness of neurodiversity, whether in an educational setting, community group, or workplace. To find out more about what we are getting up to this week then find out more here.
