The Talent Roundabout is holding a call for classes on discovering and being aware of our talents, but especially on the importance of sharing them.
This contest is dedicated to all school classes in the province of Cuneo. We all have at least five talents to make available to the community, and a talent is meaningful when it is shared with others. There are so many talents in a group, and if they are discovered and shared, they can represent enormous potential.
Very often, we are able to accomplish wonderful feats through the sharing of multiple talents. Try to become aware of your talent and understand its importance to you as a person and to your class: make a video, sing a song, draw a picture, choreograph, write a poem, a story, or anything that you think would represent the talent, or talents, of your team.
The first 30 classes to participate in the competition will receive a special prize!
To participate you need to fill out the online form and upload what you have created. Leave room for imagination and rely on your talents and the potential they have when they come together.
What is talent?
Talent is a predisposition that when discovered can be trained with commitment and dedication. Thus it becomes a skill and develops into a resource for oneself and the community. It is not the achievement of success in the spotlight or striking performance, but it is the success of realizing oneself in one’s life.
It is not a gift that some people have and others do not. Talent is meaningful when it is shared.
The ingredients for developing it? A favorable context, the softening of judgment and criticism of mistakes, more beauty around in the spaces and places where we live, exploration and self-discovery, the ability to listen and meet with others.
The CRC Foundation created the Rondo dei Talenti for this: it is the choice of a community that invests and works to make children and young people discover what is beautiful in them and how to share it with others.
Each of us carries very valuable talents within us, but we are not always aware of them. Talent should not be understood as a striking performance, but as a success of achievement in one’s life. Communicating correctly, finding solutions, relating to and helping others, cooperating and empowering each other are examples of invaluable talents.
How do we find our talents? We need to look within, be honest with ourselves and dig deep into our souls to find what truly characterizes us and accompanies us in our daily lives.
Once one has found one’s talents, it is necessary to train them and make them available to the community. It is said that unity is strength, and indeed shared talents lead to wonderful results. Some feats we accomplish in our lives are possible solely because of the sharing of our unique potential. A music band, for example, involves several talents that are enhanced precisely because of the team. Bringing different talents together may not be easy at first, but the effort will be repaid by the results that emerge from this union and it will be an opportunity for individual growth in relating to other people. Such an activity aims to improve the relationship between the various members of the group by bringing out all that is good in each of us and those around us.
