Aceasta este rezolutia care cere Comisiei Europene sa adopte o serie de masuri care sustin dezvoltarea copiilor cu potential - adoptearea unor programe dedicate in programele: *7th FP, Education, Lifelong Learning, Youth in Action and other relevant European programmes.* Adoptata de participanti din peste 20 de tari (printre care si Romania - reprezentata prin Dl Costin Sorici- multumim Costin!) - rezolutia este dovada vointei clare a expertilor, a reprezentatilor din educatie care sustin formarea unui cadru de lucru = fundament pentru diseminarea celor mai bune practici, interactiuni si schimburi in domeniu.
Solicitam si europarlamentarilor romani care lucreaza in comisiaile de Cultura si Educatie sa puna pe agenda de lucru acesta rezolutie. Atentionam ca orice cetatean roman, care se simte lezat de neaplicarea Legii 17/2007 pentru educatia copiilor supradotati, capabili de performanta inalta, intrata in vigoare la 18.02.2007 poate adresa o petitie catre Parlamentul European. IRSCA Gifted Education a sustinut aplicarea legii dupa adoptarea ei, insa urmarea este explicata aici: http://www.supradotati.ro/metodologiile-organigrama-regulamentul.php Detalii despre cum se poate adresa o petitie: https://www.secure.europarl.europa.eu/parliament/public/petition/secured/submit.do;jsessionid=DE0B2AB4DF00C1A8F502B5114390D4FD.node1?language=RO *COST Strategic Workshop - Brussels, 26 and 27 November 2007* This COST Strategic Workshop gathered high-level European scientists and experts in order to discern the state-of-the-art research and activities in the field of the promotion of the highly gifted youth in Europe and to lay the foundations for future best practice exchange and European interaction and initiatives in this area. *Resolution: Action Plan for the Gifted and Talented – an essential part of the Lisbon Strategy Europe's competitiveness is a major goal of the Lisbon Process: "The Union should become, by 2010 the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world…capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion...".* A major group in this regards are gifted and talented young people whose high cognitive and social potential and creativity constitute an important basis of European innovation capability. However, gifted and talented youth do not automatically develop by themselves, their capabilities and aptitudes do not necessarily lead to outstanding performance. This will only happen if they are properly fostered. We need to act now to support this particular group. Therefore, the diversified needs and abilities of gifted and talented children and youth must be met so they may be positive contributors of society. The European Commission is, therefore, requested to include the following items in the 7th FP, Education, Lifelong Learning, Youth in Action and other relevant European programmes: • Development of effective learning and teaching strategies for gifted and talented in order to enhance the effective eness of the education provision (defined as a benchmarking frame for the implementation of the Lisbon goals) • Enhance the international cooperation through exchange of good practises to develop the potential of our young people for the child's and the society's benefit. • Involve scientists, research facilities and industry in the development of education for our gifted and talented • Establish and agree on common perspectives in order to enable the development of road maps facilitating the exchange of experience • We need to improve the education and training of teachers and school administrations to advance the provision of gifted and talented learners • Provide capacities for information-sharing and collaboration between G&T educators and policymakers We need these objectives to ensure that the young people of the next generations will be equipped to meet the tremendous global challenges ahead of us. As a first step we strongly recommend to establish a European Gifted and Talented Working Group, its tasks being especially: • Management of the communication between all partners involved in G&T education • Creation of a coordinated European G&T network (based on existing structures, e.g. ECHA), • Support the development and improvement of teacher education (e.g. European Masters Degree) and teacher training • Support of G&T projects (e.g. Virtual School) This resolution serves as a guideline for concrete measures of the Commission. We expect the Commission to act now. Brussels, 27 November 2007 COST Strategic Workshop: Meeting the Needs of Gifted Children and Adolescents - Towards a European Roadmap
