3.4.5 From Invisible to Protagonist: Positive Initiatives that Impact the Lives of Gifted Kids in Brazil

Ismart Institute (Instituto Social para Motivar e Reconhecer Talentos) is a Brazilian non-profit organization that provides access to a quality education and opportunities for high potential, low-income students. Its programs help students reach their full professional potential through excellence, ethics, and productive creativity. Currently, Ismart supports 2,000 fellows in elementary schools, online programs, and universities. In a country where the gifted constitutes five percent of the population but only .15% of students are receiving gifted education services, Ismart is playing an important role in making sure that some of these talented students are reaching goals they had never even considered.
