Discover Possibilities, Change for the Better
“We live in an age marked by accelerating change. The rate of technological and scientific progress is paralleled by equally profound social and cultural development. To guide this change for the better, to lend it a human face, and to imbue it with a sense of kind restraint, we need our brightest minds at the helm. Yet, we must consistently and critically examine whether the current state of education allows for the development of potential talents in a way that benefits both the individual and society at large. To that end, this conference seeks to identify and also preserve the finest and most worthy means of talent development while at the same time, looking to the future of specialized education and talent pedagogy.”
The 1st World Giftedness Center International Conference will launch the World Giftedness Center officially as an initiative by the Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation for Distinguished Academic Performance and will bring together world-renowned researchers and practitioners from across several countries. While scholars will showcase cutting-edge research findings from the fields of gifted education and talent development, practitioners with excellent giftedness initiatives will demonstrate best practice examples. Among researchers and practitioners alike, the event will facilitate an exchange of ideas and experiences through both meaningful discussions, and via a diversity of workshops concerned with the most pressing topics in gifted education and talent development.
