ICAF HOSTS CHILDREN'S FOCUS GROUP FOR FAITH POPCORN'S BRAIN RESERVE
The International Child Art Foundation (ICAF) organized a focus group for Faith Popcorn's Brain Reserve. The focus group, comprised of creative, imaginative and artistic children ages 6 to 12, met on August 6 at ICAF offices in Washington, DC.
Faith Popcorn is America's leading trend forecaster. Her team of experts discussed the future of play with the kids and were pleased with the feedback they received. The team leader said that interviewing the kids was a "phenomenal experience." Brain Reserve has expressed interest in working with ICAF in the future.
Through its Arts Olympiad and related global art competitions, ICAF has identified and continues to support some of the most creative and imaginative children in the United States and around the world. These children share their collective creativity, universal values, and receive global leadership training at ICAF's international festivals, traditionally held on the National Mall in Washington.
ICAF received positive feedback from the children who participated in the focus group. They said it boosted their self-esteem to learn that professional adults cared for their opinions and insights.
