KUWAIT: The third Gulf Forum for Gifted Students, organized by the Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity, one of the centers of the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences, kicked off on Monday under the slogan “Safe Food…Promising Future Together Towards Sustainable Food Security in the Gulf States”.
In a statement to the KUNA during the opening of the forum, hosted by Kuwait from January 18 to 22, the center stated that “organizing the third edition of the forum reflects Kuwait’s commitment to its leading role in nurturing gifted students in the Gulf region and enhancing scientific and intellectual cooperation among the region’s youth, particularly in strategic issues.” The center explained that the forum, which includes approximately 80 male and female students from grades 9 to 12, along with 20 supervisors from government agencies and specialized giftedness centers across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, aims to achieve scientific, cultural, and social goals by fostering communication and the exchange of experiences among gifted students, raising their awareness of the importance of food security, and linking theoretical knowledge with practical application.
The center noted that the forum’s program includes workshops and specialized lectures in collaboration with the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) in the fields of poultry production, fish farming, tissue culture, microbiology and livestock production. It also features field visits to leading agricultural and food production sites, such as fish farms, smart farms, and the Scientific Center, embodying the concept of “science in the field” and connecting… Academic knowledge is linked to practical reality.
The center emphasized that this forum builds upon the successes of the previous two editions and lays the foundation for a third, more in-depth and impactful edition, contributing to empowering talented students and preparing them for active participation in building a sustainable future for the region’s countries. —KUNA
