What are the ingredients from which to start developing your talent?

At this point, Core Capacities come into play, fundamental or innate abilities that are possessed to varying degrees and expressed differently by every individual, regardless of whether he or she is a child or an adult. Starting from these valuable abilities, a virtuous mechanism of growth and development is triggered that is able to lead us to discover and use what is beautiful in us, our unique potential, our talent, always reminding us that it can be constantly evolving. The development of these abilities forms a solid foundation for all of life’s activities, including learning, creativity and the search for our inner resources. Our unique potential represents our direction at that moment, a picture of ourselves at that particular moment in life.

The “ingredients of talent” workshops are designed for schools of all levels. In fact, they are designed in a modular manner and can be adapted according to the age of the participants. They are estimated to last about two hours. The content and duration can also be geared according to the specific needs of each class, one thinks for example of a request for more focus on harmonization of the class group, students’ motivation and curiosity, individual well-being and self-esteem, etc.

For those who are growing up

Workshop for third, fourth and fifth grades of elementary school and first and second grades of secondary school.
Klaus has a most precious talent: he has eyes full of wonder. Everyone has a different way of approaching the world. What is ours? Through Stuart’s story children and young people will use core capacities to come to discover the beauty in each of us.

For the older

Workshop for junior high and senior high school third grades.
Core capacities are the most valuable and powerful means we have to bring out the wonder within us. Beware though, everyone uses them differently. In this workshop, children will go to work on their own inner beauty to understand how to bring it out and how to use it with others. It is a reflective journey about the self within the group with the goal of uniting the boys through their unique potential and making them aware that they are an active part of their team.

Core capabilities and unique potential are studied and explored in depth by the Learning for Well-being Foundation.
