UOB Brings Me to Enjoy the World
In May 2017, UOB (China) and Yicai Foundation announced the UOB Brings Me to Enjoy the World' programme a collaboration to provide 24 types of online courses to about 500 children of two primary schools in the remote, mountainous areas of Yunnan province.
The joint programme aims to provide these children with a multitude of online courses on topics such as science, culture and basic financial knowledge. To overcome geographic barriers, the joint programme also connects the students with teacher volunteers through the use of mobile electronic devices that have been donated to them in 2016 through Yicai Foundation.
The first semester curriculum were successfully delivered including both professional curriculum and volunteer curriculum. The professional curriculum comprised the International Children University certified STEM courses provided by GuangYi Education, while the volunteer curriculum were drafted professionally and taught by volunteers according to their areas of interest and expertise. The volunteers received training and conducted courses to the students.
