The second edition of the “International Conference on Giftedness, Education and Development” connected scientists from diverse faculties: psychologists, sociologists, economists as well as many educational scientists and – most important – motivated teachers who are striving to continuously improve in their difficult job. Supported by the Serbian Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development it not only addressed important questions on the future of education in a fast changing world but was able to provide hands-on approaches, many of them easy to implement in school life.

Die Lange Nacht der Architektur richtet sich an alle architekturinteressierten Münchner sowie an die Aussteller und Besucher der BAU, der alle 2 Jahre in München stattfindenden Weltleitmesse für Architektur, Materialien und Systeme. Die Idee, mit der LNDA das Thema Architektur in die Stadt zu tragen, stiess schon zur Premiere im Jahre 2011 auf große Resonanz: 10.000 Besucher genossen die ungewöhnliche Erkundung der Landeshauptstadt, die Fortsetzung zwei Jahre später zog bereits doppelt so viele Architekturfreunde an. „LANGE NACHT DER ARCHITEKTUR in München am 20.

A Conference with Charisma – Tackling the challenges of Giftedness in Europe

teekayworld

“The Greek word for giftedness is “Charismatikotita”. Charisma means “a divinely conferred power or talent”. Maybe it’s this divine dimension that makes it so hard for this word to be accepted by the public. Or is the limited knowledge on the subject to be blamed? Everybody thinks their child is gifted, but do they know what being gifted actually is? After all, talking about giftedness is still quite a taboo in my country.”
This was how Sotiria Kotopoulou described the challenges she faced after her eldest son had been identified as gifted in the first grade of a public primary school in Athens. The working mother of three painted a very vivid and emotional picture of her journey from a confused and stressed parent to the official Parent Facilitator of Mensa Greece since 2016. In her new volunteer position Sotiria has been addressing the following key questions in dialogue with other parents as well as within the Greek Mensa chapter:
What is the current situation about identifying and supporting a gifted child in Greece?
What is the attitude of the Greek society toward the gifted?
What are the difficulties faced by gifted children within the Greek educational system?
Do Greek parents of gifted children get the support they need?
And finally:  What does Mensa Greece do to help them?

Fans All Over – A Royal “Don Quixote” Visiting Chicago

teekayworld

The Royal Ballet‘s first visit to Chicago since 1978 as one of only three stops on its US tour concludes the Auditorium Theatre’s 125 anniversary season. The production of “Don Quixote” devised by Royal Ballets Cuban Principal Guest Artist Carlos Acosta in 2013 is a wonderful vehicle to showcase both the company’s tradition of the classics as well as its brilliant dancers. As most remakes it is deriving from the version staged by Alexander Gorsky for the Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow in 1900, who had adopted a lot from the original 1869 choreography  by its French-Russian creator Marius Petipa.A Corps de Ballet of Sheer Perfection
