I Read I Play
Yapı Kredi provides support for the "I Read I Play" project organized in collaboration with the Educational Volunteers Foundation of Turkey (TEGV) in order to create an opportunity to attend extra-curricular activities for primary education students without the facilities of contemporary education. The project aims to plant the pleasure of listening and reading in the children of primary education age; help them to acquire scientific, critical, constructive and creative ways of thinking; to help them gain speaking and debating skills on a particular subject; to help them acquire the ability to understand what they see, observe, listen and read and gain the skills for being able to explain their observations and experiences to their peers verbally and in writing.
Activities of this Project, which Yapı Kredi realizes in line with its objective to contribute to education, are carried out by TEGV volunteers at total of 67 activity points targeted, consisting of 12 education parks and 55 learning units of TEGV all over the country. One room in each learning unit, and educational park, has been decorated and arranged in accordance with the content of the project.
The “I Read I Play” project, first of which was implemented on 4 December 2006, has drawn great attention from the children attending to TEGV, and capacity usage of the rooms have reached to 158%.
