This awe-inspiring festival is powered by Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional (PTPTN), Karihome, and Plaza Shah Alam. Aimed at encouraging children to explore their creativity and showcase their abilities in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Syamil Fahim, Chief Executive Officer of Nu Ideaktiv Sdn Bhd, said, “We are very excited about this event, as we believe that through interactive programmes like this, we can help develop children’s potential to contribute to the country’s social, economic, and cultural progress while also bringing fresh new innovations and ideas needed to keep up with global advancements. We are committed to making a meaningful contribution to the development of youth through this strategy by developing community bonds, promoting cooperation, and encouraging cultural tolerance and understanding. As a result, investment and participation in programmes like this help not only people and families, but also society and the country as a whole.”
“We see this programme as an important step in helping parents build strong relationships with their children and guide them towards balanced development,” said Wan Erni Liza, Editor of Parenting Group Management. We are raising a generation that can connect with the world more effectively by teaching children how to communicate honestly, improve self-confidence, and socialise wisely. I believe that collaboration among parents, educators, and the community in programmes like this will establish a solid basis for children’s growth and a brighter future.”
