Free financial and entrepreneurial education courses for children. "Your child entrepreneur" workshops begin

Ken ACADEMY and Anchor Grup organize "Your child entrepreneur”, free financial and entrepreneurial education courses for children between the ages of 9 and 12. Three free workshops will be organized in the months of April, May and June, in each of the two malls in the Anchor Grup portfolio: Plaza Mall and Bucharest Mall.

About Ken ACADEMY

KEN Academy is a non-profit organization, a complex financial and entrepreneurial education program for children between the ages of 7 and 13, developed by the KEN Institute Association.

The novelty brought by the KEN Academy is the applied component of the program - visiting some companies - designed to help children understand business concepts, but also the production process. Also, on these occasions, small entrepreneurs have the opportunity to obtain approved information from managers, opinion leaders, successful people.

Through the KEN program, children build their own businesses within marketing events (including sales); thus, they come into direct contact with the market, get to know the customers personally and learn to work in a team.

KEN Academy through the KEN Business program also functions as a "business incubator" where the best business ideas of children are encouraged and supported.

Until now, more than 2100 children have graduated from one of the Academy's Programs: KEN Academy, KEN Business, KEN, Start or KEN Money.
