Life Tan; “In 2015, we are the only bank in Turkey that embraces children by taking children and youth as the basis of our corporate social responsibility efforts.
The most important factor that differentiated us as a bank was the investment we made in digitalization and technology, and the fact that we put this at the center of our work. We were able to move the education programs we have implemented for children and young people to online platforms very quickly. This has helped us reach more children.
In this sense, we can say that the pandemic has had a positive effect on us with what technology has to offer. We should encourage children to learn and understand technology. Our belief that we will create the future we aim for with this bright-minded and open-minded generation, whose presentations we listen to excitedly today, has been riveted once again. With these trainings, we will reveal the talents of our children and support them in understanding the world better and becoming individuals with vision.
On the other hand, we have been providing coding trainings together with our project partner Habitat Association under our Little Hands Big Dreams corporate social responsibility platform since 2015. For the last three years, we have taken our training with the Habitat Association one step further with Scratch and CodyRoby trainings, reaching more than 45,000 children in total, both at home and abroad, and we have provided nearly 345 thousand hours of coding training.
We reached more than 13 thousand children. We continue these trainings to reach more children.
