Kuveyt Türk launched Entrepreneur Kâşif, our country's first online entrepreneurship and financial literacy education platform, developed for children between the ages of 7-14. With the new year, it is moving to the physical environment as well as digital. Aiming to provide education in 34 schools in the first stage, Kuveyt Türk aims to raise successful entrepreneurs of the future with Entrepreneur Explorer.
Diversifying its social responsibility activities for entrepreneurship, Kuveyt Türk will bring the Entrepreneur Explorer Platform, which allows children to learn about entrepreneurship and financial literacy with fun, to physical as well as digital venues with the new year. Within the scope of the project, education will be provided in 34 schools in the first phase.
Believing that the entrepreneurial potential in society can be revealed more efficiently by supporting it in childhood, Kuveyt Türk launched Turkey's first online entrepreneurship education platform, Entrepreneur Kâşif, in 2022, together with Fikir Değirmeni, a graduate of Lonca Entrepreneurship Center. After two years of online training, Kuveyt Türk is bringing Entrepreneur Explorer to schools with entrepreneurship workshops and financial literacy training, as well as online, with the new year. The platform, which helps children discover, produce and develop their talents while having fun, aims to raise successful entrepreneurs of the future.
“We contribute to the creation of a generation that not only consumes but also produces and manages technology.”
Kuveyt Türk Deputy General Manager Responsible for Strategy, HR and Digital Transformation, Aslan Demir, said in his statement about the project: “We are developing projects to contribute to the formation of a generation that not only consumes but also produces and manages technology. We expanded the scope of the '2018 Explorer Coding and Robotics Training', which we started in 1010 by saying 'We code the future of our dreams with our values', and turned it into the 'Software for the Future' project in 2023. With our Software for the Future project, we establish computer laboratories in our schools, provide robotics and coding training, and share our knowledge and experience in financial literacy with our students. Another project we developed to support the education of children in need is the Entrepreneur Explorer Platform. We decided to develop Entrepreneur Explorer, Turkey's first online entrepreneurship education platform, which we established in 2022, with new events and trainings and introduce it to children in the physical environment as well as digitally this year. In the first place, we will convey our knowledge and experiences on entrepreneurship and financial literacy to our children studying in schools through gamification. "We will continue to support the development of our youth in the future," he said.
At the Entrepreneur Explorer Platform, where children's ideas and dreams come to life, children between the ages of 7-14 are given training in many areas such as idea development, business development, software and maker training. The platform, where children bring their dreams to life with puppet and storytelling training, allows them to gain new experiences with fun competitions and entrepreneurship-oriented live broadcasts. Exciting tasks await children in different categories such as entrepreneurship, science, technology, art, games, social responsibility and food.
