Noor Cornelissen 'Feeling Rooted: Perspectives on belonging and home'
Sunday May 05, 2024
Sunday May 05, 2024
Noor sees mobility as an integral part of the human experience. She also experiences that globalization changes the way in which we understand our sense of belonging. The world has become our home, while this global accessibility has also outgrown our understanding of home. Noor is curious to explore how we, as individuals and societies, can strengthen our embodied sense of belonging to ourselves, our communities, and nature – regardless of the geographical location. How may we come home and feel rooted again?
At the age of 16, Noor moved by herself to New Mexico where she finished the last two years of her high school. After obtaining degrees in political science, history and international development in Germany and Switzerland, Noor moved all over the world to work with communities on matters of migration and displacement. She spoke with hundreds of people on their migratory experience, including in Libya, Chad, Iraq, Uganda, Congo, and Palestine. After more than ten years abroad, she lived through her own sense of uprootedness upon return to the Netherlands. Currently, Noor is integrating her lived experience in her work as policy maker, entrepreneur and speaker.
Through Rooted, Noor intends to create a space where people can consciously and jointly reflect on their sense of rootedness.

Anum Farooq : The Neurodivergent Professional and Global Outlooks
An introductory series relating to neurodivergency and global systems, by first looking at perspectives from the world of work and the neurodivergent professional.
According to the Harvard Business Review; "Neurodiversity is a competitive advantage, and a growing number of prominent companies have reformed their HR processes in order to access neurodiverse talent; among them are SAP, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Microsoft, Willis Towers Watson, Ford, and EY. Many others, including Caterpillar, Dell Technologies, Deloitte, IBM, JPMorgan Chase, and UBS, have start-up or exploratory efforts under way.
SAP uses a metaphor to communicate this idea across the organization: People are like puzzle pieces, irregularly shaped. Historically, companies have asked employees to trim away their irregularities, because it’s easier to fit people together if they are all perfect rectangles. But that requires employees to leave their differences at home—differences firms need in order to innovate. “The corporate world has mostly missed out on this [benefit].
John Elder Robison, a scholar in residence and a cochair of the Neurodiversity Working Group at the College of William & Mary, writes “Indeed, many individuals who embrace the concept of neurodiversity believe that people with differences do not need to be cured; they need help and accommodation instead.”
Anum Farooq is a highly accomplished and diversified, neurodivergent professional with an established skills set across education, entrepreneurial, youth and environmental advocacy, culture and arts field, as well as being internationally published.
Anum brings a unique blend of strategic thinking, creativity, and analytical skills to deliver innovative solutions to complex challenges, as a graduate of Imperial College London with a component of her degree in Management from Imperial College London Business School. Anum is also a country wide ambassador for an educational NGO.
With a proven track record in driving organizational success as Director of Odyssey Global Media, optimizing operational efficiency, and fostering stakeholder engagement, she is a results-oriented professional committed to achieving exceptional outcomes.
She is also an United Nations FCCC Youth Constituent and is an IYC Youth Advocate. She champions for education and neurodivergent individuals, and leads from her heart to make a meaningful impact on the world.
Anum is also a globally published artist, with her artwork is displayed on dedicated art channels and streamed across major platforms including Apple TV Plus, Samsung TV Plus, VIZIO, ViX, Google Play, Xumo and LG TV amongst others as a Loupe Artist. She has been awarded the 2023 Artistic Excellence Award from the Circle Foundation for the Arts in Greece, and Exceptional Merit in the 4th Edition of the Global Talent Art Prize. She received the RAK Fine Arts Festival 2023 English Poetry Award in the UAE. In 2022, Anum was longlisted for Digital Innovation in Art Award and was a participant in the Noon Arts Award exhibition.
