He appreciated the efforts of GCP Awards for recognising talented kids, and said: “the talented young people can inspire millions of others, and there’s nobody who has no talent – every single human being has a talent, it’s all about nurturing the same.”
Many questions from GPCs revolved around environmental issues, and some as ambitious as becoming space scientists.
Prashant Pandey, co-founder of GCP Awards was excited about the official website launch and was quoted as saying “We’re truly excited with the support of his excellency Erik, and we’ve opened doors to registrations for GCP Awards 2021, which will be held in Dubai next year”
Parents who feel that their kids have got any kind of extraordinary talent, can nominate them for GCP Awards 2021 across dozens of categories, and not just arts, science, music, or dancing, but technology, entrepreneurship, culinary arts, poetry, and many more.
The virtual launch event concluded as the virtual host, Om Thoke, founder of Bloggers World University & Webfosys, digital partner of GCP Awards, thanked everyone and a child prodigy sang the national anthem of Norway and India.
Child prodigies were excited when they had a fruitful interaction with Erik Solheim. The event ended with a joyous note with a big smile on their faces and awestruck after a live interaction.
