KUWAIT: The Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity has concluded the third Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Forum for Talented Students, held this week under the theme “Safe Food… Promising Future.” The event ran from January 18 under the patronage of Education Minister Jalal Al-Tabtabaei.
The forum aimed to raise awareness about food security and sustainability while helping students understand future challenges related to food. “Through specialized training programs, scientific workshops, and field visits, students were able to connect academic knowledge with practical applications,” said Nida Al-Daihani, director of the center.
Workshops and lectures, in partnership with the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, covered poultry production, fish farming, tissue culture, microbiology and livestock management. Students also visited leading agricultural and food projects in Kuwait. The forum featured the “Khairat Al-Kuwait” exhibition highlighting efforts by government and private entities to support national food security.
Students also participated in debates where they showcased analytical and problem-solving skills. The closing ceremony highlighted pioneering Kuwaiti initiatives, with a focus on women-led projects supporting sustainability and food security. Al-Daihani said the forum strengthens Kuwait’s role as a regional hub for nurturing creative talent and lays the groundwork for larger future editions. — KUNA
