Dr. Badrawi participates in the Teen Creativity Forum at the Opera House.

At the invitation of the UNESCO Regional Office for Science in Cairo, Professor Hossam Badrawi participated today in the second forum on Adolescent Creativity, which is organized by the UNESCO Regional Office for Science in the Arab Countries, in partnership with the Egyptian National Committee for UNESCO and the Egyptian Society for Adolescent Medicine, to showcase the talents of Egyptian adolescents for the second year in a row in the “Ibdaa” celebration a teenager”.
The celebration was held at the Egyptian Opera House under the auspices of the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the Minister of Education and Technical Education, and the Minister of Culture.
The second forum of “Adolescent Creativity” highlights distinguished talents ranging in age from 10-19 years with the aim of recognizing this age group, highlighting outstanding talents, raising adolescents’ self-image, instilling confidence in themselves, and displaying the innovative capabilities and creative excellence of the Egyptian teenager. This year, a number of celebrities and government officials will join the audience, which will represent a message of support and appreciation for these special teens.
Dr. Badrawi said about the meeting: Adolescents, according to the international definition, are from the age of 10 to the age of 19, while young people are from the age of 15 to 24, and in Egypt we consider those under 18 as children. Attention to adolescence has special requirements because at this age a person interacts with different hormones that make him have new biological needs, and his brain also grows before full maturity, where his abilities to control biological desires are incomplete until the age of twenty.
A teen’s life deserves attention from older generations who often need to realize that and deal with it. A group of teenagers with wonderful talents I saw today and I was pleased with them and with them, and the principals of the schools invited me to visit them all over Egypt and asked for the invitations. Egypt is beautiful with its children, teenagers and youth

About Dr. Hossam Badrawi

Dr. Hossam Badrawi
He is a politician, intellect, and prominent physician. He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people
