Brain Awareness Week 2025 – Celebrating Neurodiversity at International High School of Wroclaw
We are excited to announce that the XI edition of Brain Awareness Week (BAW) will take place at FIE schools starting from March 10, 2025. This international initiative aims to promote knowledge about the brain and its remarkable diversity.
