My Moving Brain is our FutureNeuro community engagement programme aimed at raising awareness of brain health and wellness while promoting inclusivity in sport for individuals impacted by brain conditions across Ireland.
As part of this programme, FutureNeuro are hosting a ‘My Moving Brain :Community Connect Event’ in Dublin on the 16th November from 1.30pm – 5pm in Blackrock College, Blackrock. This is a free event and aims to open up conversations about brain health and wellness to make sport more accessible.

This event is relevant to families impacted by brain conditions, National Governing Bodies of Sport, coaches, volunteers, disabilities services, schools, anyone with an interest in the area and we encourage everyone to join this important conversation.
At FutureNeuro, our vision is to change the journey for people impacted by brain conditions through the delivery of world-leading research into a range of neurological conditions including the epilepsies, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease and neuropsychiatric conditions.
The event will feature inspirational speakers who will discuss how brain conditions can affect participation in sport, share their lived experiences managing these conditions, and offer practical tips to promote and encourage participation in different sports. Attendees will also have the chance to engage with an expert panel, ask questions, and discuss brain health and sports inclusion for the benefit of the community.
Additionally, a parallel session will offer fun, interactive science activities to explore FutureNeuro brain research, including extracting DNA from bananas and examining brain waves. Participants can also enjoy “come and try” taster sports sessions for all ages and abilities, provided by local sports clubs, featuring rugby, tennis, archery, and ultimate frisbee.
Your input is invaluable and will help make a difference for people living with brain conditions across the community. We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you in Dublin!
Best wishes,
The My Moving Brain Team
