While it is easy to include gifted into society individuals representing the social functions of maintenance or entertainment, it is much more challenging to fully include brilliant intellectuals, who can potentially change society and its power structure by their insights. This paper presents the theory and research underpinning various aspects social evolutionary dynamics in relation to many years of giftedness and talent scholarship to understand the dynamics of social inclusion; and the social inclusion of gifted and talented individuals in particular. As based on well-established empirical research from a multitude of disciplines, the conclusion of this paper was that societal attitudes toward the intellectually gifted may, to some extent, certainly be influenced for the better by social policy as well as by the education of the general public. However, importantly, existing research suggested that educating the gifted and talented themselves is also necessary. They too need an understanding of who they are in the light of social evolutionary dynamics; they need to learn why the world around them sometimes reacts aversively even though they are brilliant, and generally benevolent and socially responsible and they constitute considerable, yet often ignored, assets to all of society as a whole.

During the pre-accession period to the European Union (EU), many universities in Central and Eastern Europe opened new majors in order to prepare specialists in the field of European affairs. Given that French is the second language of the EU, teaching French as a foreign language is often a part of these majors’ curriculum. Therefore, it is interesting to address some pedagogical issues which arise concerning such university courses, e.g.: how to situate them in relation to other existing language courses, what their goals are, what methodological approach should be adopted and how to incorporate authentic documents into the program, as well as which teaching and learning scenarios integrating such materials should be used in class.

The article evokes some tracks of reflection concerning the use of Web 2.0 and social network by future professionals in sociocultural community development and its effects on the concerned populations. It insists on the fact that beyond the technical control of this tool, often already acquired, academic training has to insure a progressive passage of the students from a learning community to a community of practice in a way that they become real producers of social relationships.
