Our founder and director Lineke van Tricht, together with Lianne Hoogeveen, Marlies Tierens, and Birgit Broekhoven published an article in the Spring edition of ECHA News about the CEOS project: ‘Creating equal opportunities at school: Empowering students from less-advantaged backgrounds through teaching academic language.’

This summer the ECHA-conference takes place in The Hague from August 31^st to September 3^rd 2022. As always, Bureau Talent will attend the conference, on the one hand, to acquire the newest insights in the are of giftedness and, on the other hand to also share our knowledge and insights with our colleagues from all over Europe (and beyond).

Bureau Talent would like to contribute to equal opportunities in gifted education. In our Erasmus+ project Creating Equal Opportunities at School, we developed an academic language curriculum with our international partners because gifted students from less advantaged families often lack the right vocabulary to convert their cognitive talent into good educational results. But there is more to do.
