The Foundation’s core initiatives support the creative development of each individual, and enhance communication, critical thinking, and problem solving skills, believing that these opportunities should be available to all young people.
It achieves this through annual events including the LCM Speech Festival, Creating Writing Festival, and International Young Artists Guild Visual Arts Examinations, as well as ad-hoc community gatherings and programmes.
