Center for Identification, Work and Promotion of Gifted Children and Talented Youth “Planet of Talents”

Project idea

The concept behind "Vector into the Future!" is to help children and teenagers in challenging life situations living in small towns uncover their creative potential, boost their self-confidence, and impart positive communication skills through a series of weekly creative workshops.

 The project will feature master classes in the following disciplines:

 Pop-jazz singing;

• Acting and stage diction;
• Visual arts;
• Dancing.

 Forty-five children and teenagers will participate in the project.

Highly qualified expert teachers will work with them. They will provide practical skills training and deliver lectures on art. This approach, coupled with a trusting rapport between children and teachers, will enable the children to fully engage with the creative environment, recognize their talents, and strive to express them.

 The outcome of the training will culminate in a New Year's concert and art exhibition, featuring performances by all project participants who will sing on a grand stage, showcase their theatrical acts, and display their artwork in the exhibition space.

All project participants will receive a comprehensive manual designed to enhance, enrich, and facilitate the absorption of knowledge, as well as certificates verifying their completion of all master classes, which total 64 hours.

Relevance

In small towns across Russia, children and teenagers facing challenging life circumstances, including those with a history of orphanhood, often struggle with successful socialization and adaptation. Children often struggle to integrate into a new family and society, frequently feeling neglected and unwelcome. They frequently struggle to form friendships. Consequently, numerous teenagers in challenging life situations roam the streets aimlessly, and this idleness, in turn, leads to delinquency, alcohol consumption, smoking, and other forms of antisocial behavior. The self-esteem of these children is low because they are unaware of their potential.

Creativity and the arts serve as excellent guides in freeing children, positioning them to discover their talents, and aiding them in realizing their creative potential. For children, it represents a vital escape from feelings of neglect and provides an opportunity for continued growth in their chosen pursuits.

The project offers significant social advantages, including fostering a more tolerant societal attitude towards children and teenagers facing challenging circumstances, and enhancing the prospects for their successful socialization within their peer groups.
