SoulSpark was invited to present on Growing Changemakers. 

“This, then, is the great humanistic and historical task of the oppressed:to liberate themselves and their oppressors as well.”

~ Paulo Freire

Many schools are not designed or equipped to be responsive to the way gifted children experience the world and, therefore, to a certain degree oppress them. The paradoxical strength in gifted children’s sensitivities is a source of powerthat can transform unjust systems; however, these same sensitivities rendergifted children particularly vulnerable. All will leave with resources and practicesthat inspire innovation, support student empowerment and promote healthy community development along the change maker journey

SENG’s mission is to empower families and communities to guide gifted and talented individuals to reach their goals: intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually.
