The Terrassa City Council and the IVIRA association held the Second High Capacities Congress this March 14 to highlight the needs of gifted students and improve their visibility in schools.

Coinciding with World High Capacities Day, the event revealed a significant gap in identification. Statistics suggest that 10% of young people could have high capacities, yet only 0.3% are officially recognized, leaving many without proper guidance.
Organized alongside the Association of Families with High Capacities of Terrassa (IVIRA), the congress aimed to dismantle common myths and provide educators with better tools to support talented children.
The sessions focused on fostering inclusive school environments. Experts emphasized that both cognitive and emotional development are essential to ensure that no potential is lost due to a lack of specialized educational support.
