Commercial Bank takes Fahd Al-Asaker school students on a journey to authentic Kuwaiti heritage

The Commercial Bank of Kuwait continued its school visits as part of the “Ya Zein Our Heritage” campaign, with a recent visit to Fahad Al-Asaker Boys’ School aimed at introducing students to Kuwaiti folk heritage and highlighting the customs and traditions that reflect the authenticity of Kuwaiti society and the richness of its cultural history. This initiative is part of the bank’s ongoing efforts to preserve authentic Kuwaiti heritage and strengthen national identity among younger generations.

In this context, Amal Al-Warraq, Deputy General Manager for Corporate Communications at the bank, emphasized the importance of introducing younger generations to Kuwaiti heritage and fostering pride in national identity. She noted that school visits provide an opportunity for direct engagement with students, presenting folk heritage in a manner that bridges the past and the present. She added that the bank, through its community initiatives, is committed to supporting efforts to preserve national heritage and pass it on to future generations, thereby strengthening their connection to Kuwait’s history and enduring values.

The visit to Fahad Al-Asaker Boys’ School was part of a broader series of school visits under the “Ya Zein Our Heritage” campaign, reflecting the bank’s commitment to expanding the initiative’s reach to diverse student groups and familiarizing them with the traditional elements that formed an integral part of the lives of parents and grandparents.

The visit included a range of interactive activities designed to introduce students to several traditional Kuwaiti games, including “Al-Til,” “Al-Kiram,” and “Al-Dama.” It also featured an awareness video showcasing various traditional games, explaining their differences from modern games, and highlighting their collective and physical nature, as well as the social interaction and spirit of cooperation they fostered among children.

At the conclusion of the visit, which received considerable appreciation from students and the school administration, the bank’s Corporate Communications team distributed commemorative gifts to students, an initiative aimed at keeping elements of folk heritage present in the details of their daily lives.
