Course description
Giftedness & Study
This support group is designed for gifted students and for students who are investigating whether they are gifted and/or highly sensitive, facilitated by study advisers Lian van Lumig and Annemarie Hage.
- Executive functions
Executive functions are the skills that help you focus, plan, meet deadlines, and deal with stress. We are going to look into what your strong and not so strong executive functions are. And how to strengthen the latter.
- Researching giftedness
You may be wondering what it means to you to be gifted. Or you are not yet so convinced that you are gifted. In these meetings we will investigate what being gifted actually is and especially what you can do with it. The list of possible challenges and the Delphi model in the appendices can serve as a start for the conversation.
- High sensitivity
One of the possible aspects of giftedness is high sensitivity. You could describe this as follows: the ability to perceive a lot and in detail, to connect with perception, to experience and process this profoundly, with intense emotions as a result (Annek Tol, 2014). Your senses are more sensitive to stimuli, which can lead to overstimulation. In this group we will discuss what high sensitivity means to you and how you can deal with it.
If you have other ideas to discuss in the groups, please e-mail to Lian.vanLumig@wur.nl In the past period, for example we also discussed self compassion and social rejection. Lian and Annemarie are looking forward to your suggestions.
