Transformers School - Gifted Students/ Happy Children

Description

Ifjusagi Nomad Klub and Balasa Gym as a result of common activities on non-formal education realized that we had gifted children that face similar problems to that from other EU countries. Teachers and youth workers, who work with gifted students, are often unprepared for working with them, and this is why we started to research on it, and we built a project that came up with ways of contributing to a better integration and development of their potential. Ifjusagi Nomad Klub and our partner schools from Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Spain, joined forces to develop our institutional capacity of working with gifted children, as there was very little actual expertise and real skills of educators in handling them. The target group of our project was represented by students, teachers, psychologists, parents, youth workers, a total number of 1120 indirect beneficiaries, next the ones directly beneficiating from grants for learning/training mobilities. Our main goal was to support gifted students to achieve their potential to the maximum, so that being gifted would not become a barrier in the educational evolution of a student, but on the contrary, an asset for the student and for the society. The Objectives were:1.to change attitude towards knowledge for 350 gifted students , through the development of their creativity and critical thinking, emotional intelligence and social competencies;2.to form 30 specialists (psychologists) in teaching and implementing a program of intervention that can then be transferred in their home regions;3.to improve teaching competencies of 100 teachers working with gifted students, through the use of specialized methods, formal and non-formal, through their direct participation in project activities;4.to train 25 youth workers, as specialists in activities with parents of gifted children that will organize workshops for a total nr of 150 parents of gifted students from the partner schools. Partners did a research on how other countries intervene and manage the education of gifted students. - In the partner schools, an initial evaluation of students was done, to see if the initial research was accurate and start to identify the ones with potential who need guidance and support. The teachers set the basis of a program of activities with the parents of gifted kids, with the support of INK youth workers, and unfolded in each of the schools, a minimum of two workshops. - In the partner schools, the groups of gifted students were created, taking into consideration age groups. There were 16 sessions, one a week during 4 months. An initial evaluation using specific tests was done, and the activities of the ‘’Group for the development of creativity and critical thinking, of social and emotional competencies for gifted children’’ were initiated. In Spain, a set of activities for teachers were designed.In the 8th month, a joint staff training event took place in Hungary. The five days training course was to train teachers how to undertake in their own institutions a ‘’Group for the development of creativity and critical thinking, of social and emotional competencies for gifted children. After the course, all the participants implemented the development group in their own institutions with their gifted students. A short term exchange of pupils in Romania, was implemented in the 10th month with attandance of gifted students, teachers and youth workers from the partner NGOs. A guide with non-formal methods that were used by NGOs and schools in the working groups and during the mobilities were finished. In Romania, the intellectual output was finished: a curricula of the ’’Program for the Group for the development of creativity and critical thinking, of social and emotional competencies for gifted children’’. After the joint staff training event in Spain, to which teachers, psychologists and youth workers took part, dissemination activities in each of the partner country followed. In the 22nd month a multiplier event unfolded in Romania for the dissemination of the ‘’Happy - Gifted Student’ guide containing methods for a ‘’Group for the development of (…) for gifted children’’. In the interval 23rd - 24th months, final dissemination events, Skype meetings for deciding further follow- up measures, work on final report, and a multiplier event in Hungary for the guide with non-formal methods ‘’Happy - Gifted Student’’ took place, followed by smaller scale local events in all the partner countries, that were also a nice way to complete the project.
