About Gifted Awareness Week (GAW)
Gifted Awareness Week was founded in 2015 by the Australian Association for the Education of the Gifted and Talented (AAEGT) to raise awareness of the identification, support and learning needs of gifted children and to celebrate the dedication of individuals and educational bodies who are making a positive difference in the lives of gifted children and their families.

GAW 2023: The Diverse Faces of Giftedness
The 2023 Gifted Awareness Week theme, ‘The Diverse Faces of Giftedness’, is a continuation of the 2022 theme of ‘Like Minds’. 2022 focused on gifted individuals finding their own tribe to support their social and emotional health and intellectual engagement. In 2023 the AAEGT seeks to highlight the breadth of our gifted tribe. Gifted individuals range from mildly gifted to profoundly gifted and include socioeconomic, cultural and ethnic diversity as well as those with a disability and many whose giftedness remains masked.
