Assis Chateaubriand Award (English)

The Association of Parents and Friends for Supporting Talent is proud to announce the achievement of the Assis Chateaubriand Award at the XII Regional Forum on Social Responsibility, sponsored by Unifenas, Netsu and TV Alterosa! The award and certificate were presented on November 13, 2015 in the Unifenas hall, sorting the ASPAT Volunteers Network as one of the most important social relevance projects in the south and southwest of Minas Gerais.

Association of Parents and Friends for Supporting Talent

Association of Parents and Friends for Supporting Talent (ASPAT) is an educational organization gathering educators, teachers, parents, professionals and community persons interested in the area of Gifted Education and Talent Development. Its main purposes involve: raising awareness and positive feelings toward the gifted and talented; conducting and publishing research on gifted education; organizing Gifted Education events and programs for interested students, parents and teachers; planning and giving short term courses to prepare teachers for the gifted (facilitators); starting and providing technical support to new CEDETs (Centre for Talent and Potential Development) in other communities within Brazil. ASPAT’s main activity with children is carried on at CEDET, beginning with identification through direct observation data collected at the local schools every year; after identification each student develops his/hers own individual work plan focused on his/hers ability domain. Presently there are four CEDETs in Brazil.

Centre for Talent and Potential Development

The Centre for Talent and Potential Development (CEDET) is a special education center created by Zenita Guenther in Lavras, MG, Brazil, in 1993. CEDET is run by the Lavras School System with technical and civil responsibility delegated to the Association of Parents and Friends for Supporting Talent (ASPAT). Its main goal is to cultivate the proper physical and social environment for complementing and supplementing educational support to the gifted and talented student. At present, there are 512 gifted students age 7 to 17 enrolled at CEDET, around 5% of Lavras Basic School population. The students come from thirteen Municipal Schools, eight State Schools and two private schools, plus a group of students from nearby communities brought in by their families.

Ways to Develop Potential and Talent: 28 years of experience at CEDET (Brazil)

Conexão Brasil // República Tcheca!

Acabamos de receber as respostas às cartas que alguns alunos do CEDET mandaram para a República Tcheca!

As cartas foram enviadas para o Bunkr < www.bunkr.cz >, uma organização social tcheca da cidade de Trinec, a qual recebeu dois voluntários da ASPAT em intercâmbio no passado. Ainda hoje mantemos muitos vínculos de amizade com eles!

Durante uma atividade grupal de Inglês, pedimos a alguns alunos para escrever sobre o Brasil e perguntar coisas que gostariam de saber sobre a República Tcheca, de modo que jovens de suas idades pudessem responder.

As cartas ainda estão fechadas, vamos abri-las com os alunos em fevereiro, assim que voltarmos das férias.

Até breve!

We have just received the answers to the letters that some CEDET students sent to the Czech Republic! The letters were sent to Bunkr, a Czech social organization in the city of Trinec, which received two ASPAT volunteers in exchange in the past. We still have many friendships with them today! During a English activity at CEDET, we asked some students to write about Brazil and ask questions they would like to know about the Czech Republic, so that children and teenagers could answer. The letters are still closed, we will open them with the students in February, as soon as we get back from vacation. See you soon!
