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
