Kuwait Commercial Bank continued its school visits as part of the “Ya Zeen Turathna” (Our Heritage is Beautiful) campaign, recently visiting Fahad Al-Asaker Boys’ School to introduce students to Kuwaiti folk heritage and highlight the customs and traditions that reflect the authenticity of Kuwaiti society and the richness of its cultural history. This initiative aligns with the bank’s ongoing efforts to preserve authentic Kuwaiti heritage and strengthen national identity among younger generations.
In this context, Amal Al-Warrah, Deputy General Manager of the Corporate Communications Sector at the bank, emphasized the importance of introducing younger generations to Kuwaiti heritage and fostering pride in national identity. She noted that school visits offer 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 aimed at preserving national heritage and passing 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 Zeen Turathna” campaign, reflecting the bank’s dedication 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 their parents and grandparents.
The school visit included a range of interactive activities designed to introduce students to traditional Kuwaiti folk games, such as “Al-Tayl,” “Al-Kiram,” and “Al-Dama.” A promotional video was also shown, highlighting various traditional games, explaining their differences from modern games, and emphasizing 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 was met with notable appreciation from students and school management, the bank’s Corporate Communications Sector team distributed commemorative gifts to the students, aiming to keep elements of folk heritage present in the details of their daily lives.
