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.
Research reveals that by 2030 – and while
automation replaces today’s lower-skill
jobs – the fastest-growing occupations will
require a higher-level of cognitive skills in
areas such as collaboration, problem-solving,
critical thinking and creativity.
While KidZania continues its mission of
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.
