Accepted Paper:

Talent Development program for Female Child as a measure of overcoming unrecognized Socially Challenges  
Poornima Weerasinghe (Nawaloka College of Higher Studies)

Paper short abstract:

Socially Challenged Female Child" could belong to any social strata. Female children with extra ordinary talents, easily become victims of these challenges. Talent Development as a part of education is a wise solution for this social problem.

Paper long abstract:

In the South Asian context female child plays a major role in shaping-up the society. Most of the decisions in a family are taken based upon the requirements of 'daughters'. But when they grow up, some times unknowingly to the parent, they experience the social challenges. Most of these challenges are not recognized so, but the end result will be passed on to the next generation.

Handful of stories are publicized as news headlines when one or two cases reach their extremes. Public discussions are built like "soda water" and disappear. But the average situations which do not make "news" are still hidden.

Most of these averagely challenged female children have hidden talents, which most of the time the talents have attract the challenge.

When a girl become a teenager she, naturally and biologically acquires her characteristic talents. Subconsciously she agrees to her hormonal transformation to become a 'woman'. This can be considered as the best stage to identify her challenge and guide them to develop the skills and explore the life. The proposal of this research is to identify such groups of female children and develop their skills and train them to overcome the challenge.

Art & Crafts will be the platform to build the talents in them. They will be trained while listening to their desires and the requirements of their background to become a woman who challenge-the-challenge.
