Our project mainly focuses on gifted (or really clever) pupils’ problems they encounter during their life. According to UNESCO classification (ISCED) for Special Educational Need, so called SEN students, gifted and talented students belong into category defined as students with disadvantages. Also we believe that each person has got different intelligence types (Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory) and he or she should be evaluated by their talents not a standart criteria. We are 6 partners; Slovakia, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Romania and Bulgaria. We totally have … students, ..teachers with different experiences, knowledge, and beliefs, but with common objectives in our schools.Too many of pupils in our schools are really gifted, smart and brilliant ones. As you see it is our common problem to have more gifted pupils and we want to exchange good practices in order to spend quality time with these students. Otherwise they will be lost as long as we cannot deal with them professionally. We, the teachers, the families and the environment have lack of information on their psychology, abilities and problems they face in any aspect of life. Researches show us that they really have some problems especially during their adolescence with their peers, teachers, families or relatives. A professor, Julian Stanley, made a research (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/0013189X009003008) of 45 years on 5 thousands gifted people ( There were Mark Zuckerberg ve Lady Gaga between them ) According to the research, there are some ways to help them be happy and reach their goals. We prepared the main details and plan of the project together with partners in the light of these researches. We planned our activities in the light of Gardner’s Intelligence Theory. In the first year of the project we will be dealing with the first module “Social problems” with 4 subtitles; intrapersonal, interpersonal, spatial and verbal intelligence types. In the second year of the project we will be dealing with the second module; “Academical problems” with 4 subtitles; kinesthetic, musical, naturalist and mathematical intelligence types. -Thanks to the planned activities, we; teachers, families and the others, aim to be more aware of their psychology, feelings and academical situations of pupils. Also for the gifted ones, they will feel themselves more precious. We planned to use web2 tools, talent shows, visits to art centres and SEN schools, seminars on gifted ones, dealing with art crafts & games & photos, finding solutions to environmental problems, preparing calendars, composing and singing rap songs, drawing comics, acting out the dialogues they wrote on their academical problems etc. With the activities planned, gifted students feel themselves more valuable, their self esteem increases, they will be more social and empathetic individuals. Families will be able to combat with their problems more professionally. Teachers will also be more professional on the subject. At last, each shareholders’ foreign language usage, communication and cooperation skills, EU awareness, comparing and getting the best practices in other countries will increase. The evaluation will take place during all the project period and different assessment tools will be used to evaluate the assessment of the project and its objectives before, during and after the project. We will use lots of different communication materials and we will disseminate the project outcomes in all native languages of the partner countries and in English so that we’ll reach as many people as possible. Our multilingual rap song will also add a different value to our project. All project results will be published on school’s websites, project's web blog, social media pages of the schools as well as Etwinning platform and Erasmus+ Project Results Platform, ensuring availability to others. The partner schools will work together on eTwinning platform Twinspace, develop the activities and create new tasks even after the end of the EU funding. Students have been in contact with each other via our old etwinning projects and will continue to develop international relations and improve communication and English skills with their peers from different European countries. With this project we will provide young students an ability to get known to different cultures, languages and lifestyles, understand and respect them. During the 24-month long project period the schools’ managers and ambassadors will meet in totally 6 times. Each partner will host a project meeting in their school in order to develop and improve the quality of teachers & students training events. The first and the last meeting will be teacher training activities. Other four meetings will be with 156 students aged from 10–15 .So we will be able to come closer to the excellence. If we can properly perform the project in our schools, the precious jewels won’t vanish, they will conversely glitter.
Our project was focused on the problems of talented children that they encounter throughout their lives. According to the classification (ISCED), students with special educational needs, as well as gifted and talented students, belong to the category defined as students with disadvantages. In our project, we were five partner schools with different experiences, knowledge, and convictions but with common goals. In our schools, there are many skilled and talented children who face a lot of issues, especially during adolescence, whether they relate to relationships with peers, parents, or teachers. During the course of our project, we gained a lot of new information in the fields of psychology and neuroscience. We became familiar with how the brain works and learned details about neuroplasticity of the brain. We exchanged best practices to spend quality time with these students. We planned our activities based on Gardner's theory of intelligence. In the first year, we addressed social problems, including intrapersonal, interpersonal, spatial, and verbal intelligence. In the second and third years of the project, we tackled academic problems, including kinesthetic, musical, naturalistic, and mathematical intelligence. We used webt2tools, organized a talent show, an environmental photo competition, seminars with experts for gifted children, created games, prepared a calendar, composed and sang rap songs, drew comics, created an electronic book, and performed dialogues written by students on academic issues. Last but not least, we visited our partner schools and participated in mobilities, where we formed new friendships, improved our English, and experienced the authenticity of the culture and customs of each respective country." In the framework of the project implementation, we carried out all the planned activities and realized the following output products - a calendar created from the best logos of the project from each country, a video material - a rap song in which our students reflected on environmental issues, we created an ebook and its dramatization in the form of a video. This was focused on the students' social problems and their possible solutions. This video and the videos of the other countries were posted on YouTube, on the school website, and like everything we created, we share it in on the Platform of Results. We also created a collection of comic strips where our students focused on social and academic problems of gifted children. We were also able to prepare and successfully evaluate the students involved in the "Talent Show", from which we created video material that we posted on the school's website, on our school's YouTube channel. Our students used their creativity to create interviews on the topic of interpersonal intelligence with their peers, family members, and teachers. We also posted this video material; parents, and the wider community were able to view the short videos. At the beginning of our project, we involved our students in the creation of an information - dissemination banner that was placed at the entrance to our school campus. Before the end of the project, before our final mobility - May 2023 in Svit, we created banners from each mobility abroad and again placed them in the entrance of our school campus. On the basis of all the experience gained during the implementation of this project, we have concluded that the activities carried out have contributed to the improvement of the working and human atmosphere. Our students started to communicate more and better with each other, they were given space to realize their talents and ideas more than before. At the end of this project, we decided to propose that this knowledge and experience of ours should be implemented further after the project and translated into practical form. We came up with the proposal that the next school year 2023/2024 should be marked by mental well-being at "Peace" - at our school, where every calendar month communication and interactive activities are implemented for talented and other students in cooperation with the school support team to improve communication, to cope with stressful situations and to develop and promote soft skills.
