Dide Edelvives sponsors the event on high abilities
In April 2020, CIVIT AACC, the International Virtual Summit on Intelligence and Talent, was launched from Mexico City, bringing together more than 60 experts from 11 countries. Thanks to its success, a community of many people interested in High Abilities (AACC), Giftedness, and Talent development emerged. CIVIT’s mission is to bring this type of knowledge closer to people interested in high abilities, diversity, and education.
Dide Edelvives, along with other sponsors such as Pearson, Talentum, and Cadis, has contributed to transmitting this knowledge and experiences. Dide contributes its grain of sand with the presentation by Nuria Ros Cubel, PhD in psychology, specialist in learning difficulties: “School failure in children with High Abilities.”
“At the present time, we cannot avoid, as in the 50s and 60s of the last century, the ignorance of learning difficulties or educational needs in childhood and adolescence because, not only can we detect them and name them, but also intervene and solve them. To solve, always first and foremost, you have to know and understand.” Nuria Ros
The CIVIT Community proposes a series of services and possibilities to stay connected. For example, through Conversations, mini-conferences with specialized topics, webinars, Facebook live, and podcasts, they broadcast content weekly through their channels to benefit the community. This is what they have called CIVIT TALKS.
Alberto Ramírez, specialist in educational technology and creator of the Dide platform, has participated in CIVIT TALKS. During his conversation with Alina Oropeza and Juan Antonio Álvarez, he explained his career and how the idea of creating Dide arose.
Dide was born from a dream, the dream of making children with learning or developmental difficulties feel supported and listened to; and of helping their environment (parents, teachers, counselors) to know them better and to react early.
Dide’s objective is to make inclusive education effective with equal opportunities for all students.
In the atypical situation we are experiencing due to COVID-19, educational counselors in schools have difficulties offering remote services to families and teachers, interviews with parents and tutors are limited to the most urgent cases, and many psycho-pedagogical evaluations have been left in the air.
For this reason, Dide Edelvives, faithful to its educational, innovative, and technological project, provides the educational community with resources and tools to solve their needs in order to guarantee attention to the diversity of students. (The Dide platform was offered free of charge to many educational centers in Spain and LATAM during the first 6 months of the pandemic).
During Alberto Ramírez’s presentation on the urgency of knowing each of the students in depth to detect their educational needs, Alina Oropeza reflects on the problem that ails her country, Mexico, which is the fact that a young person in conditions of social and economic vulnerability drops out of school, since it is very likely that he will join the ranks of organized crime.
In addition, Alina continues, “according to statistics, Mexico is the second country in Latin America in youth suicides between 16 and 23 years old. We are not giving them a reason to continue living, nor are we connecting them with their meaning of life. Therefore, this type of initiative such as dide helps us, not only to know their needs to retain them in school, but to rethink ourselves as human beings what we are doing and how we are evolving as humanity.”
“Dide supports you to identify your student and know what they need.” Alina Oropeza

“We hear daily in talks and conferences complaints and more complaints from professionals about educational problems, but rarely come with solutions. Dide comes with a solution.” Juan Antonio Álvarez
