Eurotalent

Welcome! Do you think it’s possible that Europe neglects its greatest talents? We fight against it, e.g. with our activities as members of the Council of Europe: more info...

Bonjour ! Est-il possible que l’Europe oublie ses plus grands talents ? Nous luttons contre, par exemple avec nos démarches auprès du Conseil de l’ Europe : plus d’info...


EUROTALENT is committed to providing educational assistance to children with high potential:

1) FORUM
- By making available a forum for free and frank discussion,
- by allowing researchers, educators and parents across Europe to become informed,
- to gain a deeper understanding of key questions, to share their experiences and to promote their initiatives.

2) REINFORCEMENT
- By coordinating and emphasising the efforts of its members within Europe
- in order to develop theoretical and practical initiatives, language, identification, classroom initiatives and summer schools,
- and to inform and convince those with political, scientific and educational responsibility in their own countries.

3) ADVOCATING
- By broadcasting the fundamental right of each child to an appropriate education within or outwith the system in force,
- to a knowledge and practical implementation of the conditions required for individual, collective and social well-being,
- and to sound social integration, which has great significance for society as a whole.

On January 28, 2012, the GA of Eurotalent took place in Paris – near Arc de Triomphe – in an atmosphere of intense and cooperative discussion. The GA adopted a strategy to provide its high quality services primarily in favour of its paying member-associations (eg. by creating an internal section for them on the website), and at the same time to keep abreast and inform the  correspondants of Eurotalent – thus pursuing its statutory objectives.

Projects for 2012 ff.: Project 1: « To let define & describe a number of terms  of importance by G&T children from adherent countries of Eurotalent; Project 2: » Begin to establish a ‘Eurotalent library’ with pieces of research done by member-associationjs on G&T questions »; Project 3: » Cooperation & exchange among members referring to the issue of « G&T children and depression ‘, perhaps even initiating a research in this subject conducted by  Eurotalent members.  »

 

Our member Monique Binda has informed us about this outstanding conference, when we last met in the executive bureau. Get details on: http://40-ans.anpeip.org

Eurotalent had prepared a lot of inputs and multi-lingual tables (definitions in ENG FRA SPA GER ITA) for a broad discussion with the worldwide participants. Unfortunately, we were only assigned two “presentation-slots” i.e. 50 minutes. Nevertheless, there was a good, fruitful and semantically intense discussion of the concepts and terms from the starting point (gift/potential), via the evelopment phase (chrestic functions!) on to the final goal (talent, high performance).
