Different organisations and institutions, ranging from parents’associations to foundations, offer a large variety of measures catering for the special demands of gifted and talented children, enabling the exchange of information on giftedness and the cooperation of different institutions. Talented children are also provided with access to scholarships as well as to special academies and competitions on different topics. Furthermore, educators and researches involved in the promotion of giftedness can attend conferences as well as gaining qualifications as specialists in gifted education and talent support. In addition to these nationwide, extracurricular measures, the individual federal states offer various acceleration and enrichment activities for children with high abilities at school. Overall, this leads to a diverse system of gifted education and talent support in Germany. It does, however, mean that Germany lacks a common national strategy of gifted education and talent support due to the lack of networking of the individual federal states. By exchanging ideas and information on their applied concepts of ability promotion, the federal states could benefit from each other’s expertise and experiences. Further improvement could be achieved if concepts of gifted education and talent support were to become an integral part of various discussions, such as those on inclusive education or on the results of international comparative studies (e.g., PISA, PIRLS or TIMSS) .  \nKeywords: gifted education, talent support, Germany, federal states, foundations, associations, enrichment, acceleration  \n1 The article contains translations of German terms, which were translated into English by the authors of this article.  \n2 *Corresponding Author.

Različne organizacije in ustanove – od združenj staršev do različnih fundacij – ponujajo različne dejavnosti za posebne zahteve nadarjenih in talentiranih otrok. Poleg tega med njimi potekajo izmenjava informacij o nadarjenosti in različnevrste sodelovanj. Talentirani otroci imajo tudi možnost pridobiti različne štipendije, imajo dostop do posebnih akademij, zanje so organizirana tekmovanjana različnih področjih. Poleg tega se učitelji in raziskovalci, povezani s promoviranjem nadarjenosti, lahko udeležujejo konferenc ter pridobijo specializacijo na področju izobraževanja nadarjenih in podpore talentiranim. Poleg teh nacionalnih zunajkurikularnih ukrepov posameznezvezne države ponujajo veliko obogatitvenih dejavnosti za sposobnejšeotroke tudi v šoli. To vodi v raznolikost sistema izobraževanja nadarjenih in spodbujanja talentov v Nemčiji. V Nemčiji tako manjka skupna nacionalna strategija izobraževanja nadarjenih in spodbujanja talentov, tudi zaradi pomanjkanja mreženja med posameznimi zveznimi državami. Zizmenjavo informacij o implementiranih konceptih promoviranja nadarjenih bi zvezne države lahko pridobile ustrezne izkušnje in strokovna znanja. Izboljšanje bi lahko dosegli tudi s tem, da bi se o tematikirazpravljalo na različnih strokovnih področjih, kot na primer inkluzivnoizobraževanje ali rezultati mednarodnih primerjalnih študij (npr. PISA, PIRLS, TIMSS) .  \nKljučne besede: izobraževanje nadarjenih, podpora talentom, Nemčija, zvezne države, fundacije, združenja, ","cbCairprTdve4en8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairprTdve4en8","pdf",184315,24,"English","# Introduction\n## National and extracurricular measures\n## Role of federal states and coordination\n## Need for a shared national strategy","[{\"question\":\"How did the focus of support for gifted children change in Germany?\",\"answer\":\"Support initially centered on disabled children, based on the idea that talented children could manage without extra help.
