**The general aim of the project is to demonstrate that using talents in the approved manner can be beneficial and enjoyable.** **‍‍‍** The international project HIDDEN TALENTS will help children to strengthen/develop their natural skills which can be their foundation for their further education and career. Having a good command of foreign languages, using ICT, being tolerant, familiar with educational systems in European countries, being able to collaborate, our students should have an opportunity to develop their talents. Using simple **surveys on students' hobbies** at the beginning and end of the project will show children’s progress. In our schools there are several students with disabilities, having a gift for certain areas. **The concrete aim of the project is to create the HIDDEN EUROPEAN TALENTS Wiki which will involve various students’ abilities and will be a final joint product**. Schools will organize a set of events to give children opportunities to present their skills. Activities will be determined on three levels, according to the students’ age. Five areas connected to school curricula were chosen. The best students will take part in events and present their skills on the international level. Those who are talented in literature will write joint stories and lyrics. For linguistically talented students there will be the foreign language competitions. To be familiar with a diversity of European languages various techniques will be used. To develop artistic abilities children will illustrate their stories with different techniques, photos. ICT talented students will create the Wiki, take part in a contest and carry out thematic surveys on-line. The project meetings, A Day Together for Europe, and talent shows are intended to be big school events to present talented children to the local and international audience. The wiki will be filled with jointly written, illustrated stories, diaries of national mascots, language and ICT contests and short films/photos taken during the various activities. On the final international conference students and teachers will present their work and progress. The project will be a challenge for ambitious students. However, at the same time, the teachers will focus their attention to the **//students with disabilities// and special needs** to encourage them and build up their self-esteem, self-confidence and give them a chance to experience the taste of the success.
