Living on the edge; Learning, flourishing and contributing in all ages

Practice based

In this symposium three professionals, who each have about 20 years of experience in working and interacting with the gifted from the age of young adults until the end of life, share their observations and insights. How do these gifted learn and develop in all these stages of life? How do they gather wisdom and find their personal/specific purposes in work and life? How can they still serve society when they are retired from work?We share examples, experiences and ways to find a better living climate, we formulate some special needs and restrictions and we are open for discussion. How can a better living climate be realized for the development of the gifted all over the world?There is hardly any research on the development of gifted along the lifespan. Until now, most knowledge is gathered by observation in practice.
