vPlus is Potential Plus UK’s annual online festival of workshops and activities for children with high ability (often displayed through their curiosity, drive, enquiring minds and speed of thought and also known as high learning potential, gifted, more able) and their parents. The festival offers young people the chance to take part in activities with like-minded peers, creates a sense of belonging, reduces feelings of isolation, helps maintain positive mental health and raises awareness of the essential skills for success in the 21st Century. For parents it gives them the opportunity to meet with other families who ‘get’ their child and understand their experiences.
Unable to hold in-person events due to the pandemic, in 2021 Potential Plus UK devised the online festival, with topics of interest to children; adults; and whole family sessions – it was so popular they are back for a second visit with brilliant new workshops and presenters!
The vPlus festival is a fundraising event for the charity Potential Plus UK.
