Commercial Bank Introduces Kuwaiti Heritage to 'Sumaya' Primary School Students

As part of its ongoing efforts to preserve Kuwaiti heritage and strengthen the connection of new generations to it, the Kuwait Finance House organized a field visit for students from Sumaya Elementary School as part of the “Ya Zeen Turathna” (Our Heritage is Beautiful) campaign for 2026. The campaign 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 learn up close about various traditional Kuwaiti customs, folk traditions, and old 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 delighted 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 documentation; it extends to presenting it to future generations through innovative and interactive methods that bring them closer to it and foster pride in it. 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 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 end of the visit, the Corporate Communications sector 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 heritage elements present in the details of their daily lives.

For her part, the administration of Sumaya Elementary 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, and highlighting the importance of this in strengthening national identity and instilling values of belonging among students.
