Future Problem Solving Programme
The Future Problem Solving Programme (FPSP) is a dynamic international
programme developed in 1974 by creativity pioneer, Dr. E. Paul Torrance.
It comprises several components, both competitive and non-competitive,
which aims to develop creative and critical thinking, problem solving and
decision making skills.
