KidZania Collaborates With Kuwait Fire Service Department

KidZania Kuwait, the exciting kid-sized metropolis in Kuwait, celebrated the 17^th Annual Firefighters’ Day at Souq Sharq bringing role-playing activities closer to kids with a free pop-up event. Visitors had a fun twist to their weekend from 28^th February to 2^nd March as they had the opportunity to play, learn and to interact with new friends in an exciting outdoor atmosphere.

The initiative is in line with KidZania’s CSR efforts to continue providing children with the best learning experiences, inside KidZania and among the local community, by performing different community service activities around the year. This opportunity also highlights KidZania’s exiting and strong ties with the Kuwait Fire Services Department, who have collaborated with KidZania on many other projects in the past.

Fernando Medroa, Vice President of Leisure and Entertainment at Alshaya Group said: “As a CSR driven brand, it is important to bring KidZania to the external community to deliver our message and help educate children on a very important topic such as fire safety awareness. We are happy to have our partners from the Kuwait Fire Service Department again this year, the kids had a truly enriching opportunity in an outdoor setting.”

The event saw great turn-out with more than hundreds of people visiting within the span of three days. KidZania took full control over the children’s section at the Firefighters’ Event, while guaranteeing endless fun, combined with education. There were loads of fun activities from face painting, arts and crafts to a firefighting-themed activity to teach them all about fire safety and what to do in case of a fire emergency, along with an opportunity to win cool giveaways. Kids who completed the fire safety activity and the obstacle course received a certificate of completion. Visitors were also entertained with fun stage performances.

KidZania’s management team extended a heartfelt thank you to all representatives at the Kuwait Fire Services Department, for their continuous collaboration with KidZania to help bring forth its global role as a community involved brand.
