This partnership consists of three partners from three countries in order to explore and find the best practice in early identification and support of talents. As each partner represents different sector of education, we will be a multi-player partnership which will be able to cover more aspects of our topic. All partners will involve a number of “silent partners” who will contribute to enriching and widening the knowledge of participants. The partnership address to Strategic objective 2: Improving the quality and efficiency of education and training in ‘ET 2020’. There is a need to ensure high quality teaching, to provide continuous professional development for teachers and trainers teachers and other educational specialists. Our project will upskill teachers in early identification of talented children and learn them to create an individual and special educational plans for those children. Strategic objective 3: Promoting equity, social cohesion and active citizenship says that education and training systems should aim to ensure that all learners - including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, those with special needs and migrants - complete their education. We want our schools to be ready to create an atmosphere of acceptance and recognition of gifted and talented children from any background in any country. This includes knowledge and skills in early identification of the talented child, supporting that child and involving parents and the family in the process of his/her education. To reach these objectives our partnership will realize study visits in partner countries in order to learn what works well through observation, discussion and other methods. The information and skills will be confirmed and widen on seminars which will be organized during the study visits. Leading professionals will be invited to provide participants with updated scientific findings. Each study visit and seminar will be focused on specific aspect of talented and gifted children. We will learn about tools of early identification of those who are talented or gifted in the Czech Republic, we will explore and compare tools and possibilities to support and teach talents in the United Kingdom and we will also observe teachers´ education and training in teaching talented children in Turkey. The information and knowledge gained in the project will be collected in Methodology for Teachers (“Discovering and Support of Talented Children”) which will be distributed to teachers in pre-primary, primary, secondary and upper education, to school management, psychologists, school counsellors and careers counsellors, members of academic staff at universities and other professionals in identification, education and support of talented children. Effective and equal educational system is considered essential for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. That is why we will appeal strategists and decision makers in order to support talents. We will create the Recommendation Paper which will contain recommendation of participants in the field of education of talents. Our project will upskill almost 80 related staff. Participants are expected to cascade the information to the others. This will ensure the sustainability of the project acitivites. The project concludes with a final conference in the United Kingdom aimed at disseminating practice as wide as possible and attended by delegates from all partners as well as a wide range of invited delegates.
