The United Nations marks its 80th anniversary 🎉, and Iraqi artist Waleed R. Qaisi has a simple yet powerful message: education is the key to our future. Born in Baghdad and trained at its Institute of Fine Arts, Qaisi champions a new approach that blends creativity and critical thinking.
For Qaisi, classrooms should be more than places to memorize facts. They should be workshops where young minds experiment, innovate, and learn to shape the world around them. "Education is the fundamental tool for building societies, families, and scientific advancement," he says.
His challenge to today’s youth is clear: embrace learning with passion. Whether you’re exploring science, art, or technology, every idea you develop can make a difference. 🌟
As we celebrate eight decades of the UN, Qaisi reminds us that nurturing creative thinkers is how we tackle global challenges—one bright mind at a time.
