In a significant move to cultivate a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship at the grassroots level, Helwan National University recently hosted its inaugural campus bazaar. The event, inaugurated by University President Dr. Elsayed Kandil, provided a vibrant platform for students to showcase their micro-ventures and creative talents as a key activity within the “Helwan Plus” media project.
A Platform For Emerging Entrepreneurs
The bazaar featured an impressive display of student ingenuity, with over 30 tents and sub-exhibits housing more than 100 student exhibitors from various academic programs. Participants presented a diverse range of micro-projects developed entirely by them, including artistic products, handicrafts, custom designs, and innovative solutions that highlighted the practical skills and creativity fostered within the university’s different specializations. The event served as a real-world marketplace, allowing students to engage directly with the public and gain valuable commercial experience.
Fostering Applied Education and Business Skills
This initiative reflects the university’s strategic commitment to supporting youth entrepreneurship by bridging the gap between academic learning and practical application. During his tour, Dr. Kandil emphasized that the student projects were a prime example of applied education in action. He noted that the university is dedicated to nurturing student ideas and helping transform them into viable projects that can contribute meaningfully to the community and the job market. The bazaar offered students hands-on experience in management, marketing, and on-ground sales.
A Collaborative Ecosystem Initiative
The successful execution of the bazaar was a testament to the collaborative spirit within the university. The event was the result of an integrated effort between the “Helwan Plus” team, the university’s Student Union, the “For Egypt” family association, and the Helwan National University administration. This collaborative model underscores the institutional commitment to creating a holistic support system for student activities and ventures, solidifying the bazaar’s position as a new hallmark of creativity and innovation on campus.
