Commercial Bank Introduces Kuwaiti Heritage to Sumayyah Primary School Students

In line with its ongoing efforts to preserve Kuwaiti heritage and strengthen its connection with new generations, the Kuwait Finance House organized a field visit for female students from Sumaya Primary School as part of the “Ya Zeen Turathna” (Our Heritage is Beautiful) campaign for 2026, which aims to introduce children to aspects of authentic Kuwaiti heritage through an interactive approach that combines knowledge and enjoyment.

The visit included a series of interactive activities that allowed the students to get up close with various traditional Kuwaiti customs, folk traditions, and old children’s games, alongside an interactive workshop covering key milestones that were part of children’s lives in the past, with simplified explanations of their significance in Kuwaiti popular memory.

On this occasion, Amani Al-Wara’, Deputy General Manager of Corporate Communications at the Kuwait Finance House, said: “We are pleased to organize such visits, which provide us with the opportunity to introduce new generations to aspects of our authentic Kuwaiti heritage and strengthen their connection to their country’s history and identity. We believe that preserving heritage goes beyond merely documenting it; it extends to presenting it to future generations through innovative and interactive methods that bring them closer to it and foster a sense of pride. The ‘Ya Zeen Turathna’ campaign embodies this approach through diverse activities that combine learning, experience, and entertainment, thereby embedding the values of Kuwaiti heritage in the hearts of our children.”

The event witnessed notable engagement from the students, who actively participated in the activities and workshop amidst an atmosphere of enthusiasm and fun, contributing to presenting folk heritage in a simplified and appealing manner, and linking heritage elements to practical experiences close to their interests.

At the conclusion of the visit, the Corporate Communications team at the Kuwait Finance House distributed commemorative gifts to the students, including “Al-Hamma,” inspired by Kuwaiti heritage, in a move aimed at keeping elements of the cultural legacy present in the details of their daily lives.

For her part, the administration of Sumaya Primary School for Girls expressed its gratitude and appreciation to the Kuwait Finance House for this visit, praising its role in preserving Kuwaiti heritage and introducing the new generation to the history of their fathers and ancestors, highlighting its importance in strengthening national identity and instilling values of belonging among students.
