Romanian non-profit organization to participate to the World Council on Gifted and Talented Children in the US

IRSCA Gifted Education's President, Prof. Dr. Florian Colceag will not only represent the Romanian gifted education network in the US but will also support the interests and goals of former communist countries to pull up a new education system to meet the individual needs of gifted and talented as well as be a strong promoter of a tighter international collaboration in the gifted education network.

This year the conference in New Orleans will bring together representatives from all around the world, and for the first time European countries like the U.K., Germany, Serbia, Spain and others will be present in a concerted effort to answer the need to establish better contacts and strengthen the ties in the gifted network.

There's a lot to be done for the future and in response to the current highly complex crisis at a global level and the needs to develop highly trained individuals able to solve them, Prof. Dr. Florian Colceag reacts:
"Gifted education programs can be alternative programs able to re-balance the highly complex current situation and contribute to solve crises on a global scale and in specific cultures, by using new educational technologies, Internet communication, knowledge sharing and collaboration networks among professionals. These programs can become the educational spine that can be projected differently to various cultures that are tributary to different historical developments of their own shape. At the same time, a gifted education program can become the potential provider of leaders with high intellectual abilities, high aspirations and ideals, moral health and balanced personalities in every field of activity".


Prof. Dr. Florian Colceag will strongly sustain and present the ongoing private initiative efforts to develop a gifted education system in Romania (shaping the legal framework, the infrastructure, forming instructors, setup up the gifted education network etc) and he will lobby for an international support and for getting into place the right partnering, the best practice exchanges and programs to form a viable, robust and self-sustaining gifted system in Romania. And Romania has a great potential not only to develop human resources to help her to bolster the reform efforts and to enter in a stronger shape in the EU, but also to provide the specialists that can answer worldwide issues.
In this way, we believe we're a step further. And we would like to think of the future with a smile on our face. Because, as Mr. Marius Vasileanu, a highly appreciated Romanian literary writer says: "Slowly, slowly, we will get used to see the present trite, senseless life we see today from the future back. To see things like that might seem childish. But the youth, the children do see us from there, from tomorrow. And most often, they look there smiling. Because of that, we think that the smile is the right connection to our own future."
