“It's been a privilege working with Joseph K Muscat as our Neurodiversity consultant for the last two years. His insightful talks have not only raised awareness but also catalyzed a positive transformation within our organization. Through his guidance, we've learned how to better support our Neurodivergent staff, fostering a more inclusive and understanding work environment. Joseph's contributions have been instrumental in our journey towards greater diversity and inclusion.”
CORE Platform had the pleasure of engaging Mr Joseph K Muscat for the inaugural Malta Diversity & Inclusion Charter Conference on May 22nd, 2024, as a keynote speaker. He delivered an outstanding presentation on neurodiversity. His insightful discussion on accommodations, employee resource groups, and other related topics was both enlightening and inspiring. Joseph's expertise and passion for creating awareness about neurodiversity shone through, demonstrating how individuals with diverse neurological backgrounds can significantly contribute to an organization's success. His delivery was not only informative but also deeply engaging, leaving the audience with practical strategies and a renewed commitment to fostering inclusive workplaces. Joseph K Muscat is truly a remarkable advocate for neurodiversity, and his contributions to the conference were invaluable. CORE Platform will surely consider working closely with Mr Muscat in future events.
"Joseph's session on neurodiversity delivered to the European Parliament staff through the SFP Europa union was truly eye-opening and inspiring. He highlighted for us the importance of embracing neurodiverse perspectives, and explained how inclusivity leads to innovation and growth in the workplace. His depth of knowledge, coupled with personal insights, made complex concepts relatable and easely to comprehens. By challenging misconceptions and celebrating the strengths of neurodiverse individuals, they sparked a meaningful dialogue among all attendees. It was a powerful reminder that diversity in thinking is essential to building a more inclusive, creative, and forward-thinking Europe. The message resonated deeply and will undoubtedly influence future policies and practices within our institution."
Joseph delivered a 2 hour lecture on Neurodiversity at Artevelde University of Applied Sciences in Ghent. He shared his knowledge in a clear and interactive way that was both engaging and inspiring.
