TALENT project (101090147) is focused on the integration of youth talents in their school and sports environments through a program that is pre-operational with respect to an actual dual-career programme. With this aim, the “Show your talent!” Event was organized at the Regina Margherita high school in Palermo, with talented students presenting dance, drama, language, music, painting, and sport (taek-won-do) performances. Furthermore, Italian track and field coaches, athletes, teachers, and scholars exchanged their opinions on the difficulty to define the characteristics of a specific talent, to delineate the boundaries and signs for detecting a given talent, and to adopt the proper measures to help youth to expressing their talent.

In the next months, national focus groups will be organized in Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia to provide insights from coaches and teachers on how to identify and support a dual career of talented youth. Then, a workshop with European dual career experts will take place during the next EAS Annual Conference to be held in Gaeta, Italy, next October 2-4, 2023
