KB Kookmin Card announced on August 26 that it is launching a social contribution initiative aimed at enhancing financial literacy and digital skills among youth.
The program, titled 'KB Kookmin Card Joyful Financial Classroom,' will conduct a total of 150 educational sessions for approximately 3,000 youths affiliated with youth facilities and elementary, middle, and high schools across the country.
Professional financial educators will visit the participating institutions to provide age-appropriate training. Elementary students will learn basic financial concepts such as currency management and credit management, while middle and high school students will receive practical financial knowledge related to consumption, credit, savings, financial careers, and risk management.
The program will also incorporate board games focused on topics like exchange rates, allowance management, credit, and investment to help students grasp financial concepts and principles more easily through experiential learning.
In rural areas where digital education infrastructure is relatively lacking, KB Kookmin Card will operate the 'KB Kookmin Card Joyful Digital Classroom.' This year, around 460 students in grades 4 to 6 from 23 elementary schools nationwide are expected to participate.
Students will learn about the principles and applications of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and engage in activities such as creating AI chatbots in the 'Barrier-Free AI Challenge' and completing robot missions using block coding in the 'Green Challenge with Robots.'
KB Kookmin Card plans to train about 23 women with digital expertise as professional instructors to be dispatched to educational sites. This initiative aims to reduce the digital education gap in rural areas while also expanding economic participation opportunities for women with professional backgrounds.
