The first national festival of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship will be held with the support of the knowledge-based economy and culture-building technologies development headquarter to teach creative thinking skills to students.

The high-school education deputy of the ministry of education will hold the festival to teach thinking skills and pave the way for entrepreneurship and idea-making.

In the last three years, we have witnessed the holding of the festival in Tehran Province. For the fourth year, the event will be held at the national level for the first time. All high-school students inside and outside the country, as well as their parents and teachers can register for the festival.

The national festival of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship will teach students, parents and teachers to create coordination between school and home so that we could witness progress in this field. In this festival, creative thinking skills are taught with a cognitive science approach. Familiarity of students with different dimensions of thinking skills is one of the goals of these trainings, in such a way that they develop ideas and creativity and create innovation with their creative thinking.

In addition, these trainings are not only about thinking skills, but also innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship. This event should be considered as an action to improve the idea generation potential of the participants.

Participants can benefit from these trainings after visiting the festival website and registering for it. In addition, registration is open from April to June 2020. After that, ideas will be evaluated and will be supported after selection to be commercialized.

In addition, membership in young entrepreneur club of the ministry of cooperatives and social welfare for all participants of the festival is another benefit of the event. The club teaches soft entrepreneurship skills.
