Melbourne, Australia – Just Gold, an accredited Australian social enterprise and certified BCorp, proudly unveils the world’s first free social media toolkit for Autistic Pride Day, fostering a global celebration of neurodiversity. Recently recognised as a top 5 business in building communities at the Telstra Best of Business Awards in Victoria, Australia, Just Gold is dedicated to making a positive impact on society.
Autistic Pride Day focuses on promoting acceptance and understanding of neurodiversity, challenging stigma and discrimination, nurturing a sense of community, and encouraging positive change.
The comprehensive toolkit that becomes available on May 18, 2023 includes logo packs, event material, speech templates, social media content, posters, and other resources to help organisations and individuals around the world celebrate and promote Autistic Pride Day. This groundbreaking initiative is the first structured global effort to empower autistic people and organisations to promote the importance of neurodiversity and Autistic Pride by removing the marketing barrier that social purpose projects often face.
To inaugurate the initiative, Just Gold is hosting a symposium in Melbourne on June 18, highlighting autistic entrepreneurship, neurodiverse health practitioners, issues that concern autistic families, and featuring breakout sensory rooms, workshops for autistic queer people and autistic women.
The symposium will be hybrid and streamed at a later date to provide an accessible and safe space for expression. It aims to highlight the achievements of autistic individuals, raise awareness about the importance of neurodiversity, and create opportunities for connection and community-building.
Moreover, the social enterprise is collaborating with local and international partners to host events and activities supporting the Autistic Pride Day initiative.
Celebrated annually on June 18th, Autistic Pride Day offers a platform for the global community to promote acceptance, understanding, and celebration of autistic individuals.
By providing free resources and increasing awareness about Autistic Pride Day and the importance of neurodiversity, Just Gold’s Autistic Pride Day initiative aims to create a global movement that empowers autistic individuals, supports their communities, and fosters an inclusive society.
Just Gold is looking for participants, volunteers, and partners globally to join them in celebrating Autistic Pride Day and promoting neurodiversity. They invite individuals, organizations, and businesses who share their commitment to inclusion and positive change to participate in events, workshops, and discussions, volunteer in various capacities, or collaborate as partners to amplify their impact.
