The people behind Gifted Institute

Founders, Employees, and Volunteers at Gifted Institute

Gifted Institute was founded in 2021 by Grith Tschorn and Johnnie Rasmussen, cand. psych.aut, each possessing over two decades of experience with, and comprehensive understanding of, giftedness in both practical applications and academic research. The institute has experienced rapid growth and currently consists of a substantial team of professionals with specialized knowledge in giftedness. Beyond its core staff, Gifted Institute employs gifted young individuals who instruct and support at the Boost program and camps, external collaborators from within Denmark and abroad, as well as a multitude of dedicated volunteers. All members work in unison, driven by a common goal: to assist gifted children, adolescents, and their families in improving their quality of life and showcasing their strengths, thereby unleashing the full potential of every individual.
