MICROSOFT PARTNERS
WITH KIDZANIA TO
EMPOWER CHILDREN TO
BE FUTURE-READY
Microsoft Kuwait is working with KidZania Kuwait to
enhance the IT skills of youngsters in the country.
K
idZania Kuwait, the kid-centric
metropolis, has joined forces with
Microsoft Kuwait in an initiative
to empower children to achieve more
through building their technology skills. The
partnership with Microsoft is the first of its
kind for KidZania and aims at equipping
children with digital and soft skills that would
prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow.
The partnership was celebrated at a special
ceremony held at KidZania in the presence of
KidZania Kuwait’s management team and
Microsoft’s official representatives in Kuwait.
The collaboration is based on the shared vision
of KidZania and Microsoft to inspire children
by immersing them in real-life scenarios, that
are both educational and entertaining.

helping children get ready for a better world,
Microsoft will prepare them for their future
workplace skills with the help of its solutions
and innovations to build digital literacy.
Microsoft has been at the forefront of
Digital Transformation in the classroom by
delivering new approaches to learning that
can provide them with rich, immersive and
collaborative experiences to develop critical
and employability skills.
