Our initiatives

نشر الوعي بين أوساط الجيل الصاعد من الأطفال والشباب (7- 17 سنة) في دولة الإمارات.

Since 2013, CYLKA runs FILS PLANET, the first program of its kind which aims to raise awareness on financial education among children and youth (7-17 years) in the UAE. FILS PLANET program works in partnership with public and private sectors on the following services:

DESIGNING EDUTAINMENT CURRICULUM AND ACTIVITIES
HOSTING WORKSHOPS FOR PARENTS AND EDUCATORS ON HOW TO RAISE A FINANCIALLY EDUCATED CHILD
PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL TOYS AND PRODUCTS

ORGANIZING INTERACTIVE SESSIONS AND EDUCATIONAL VISITS

At FILS PLANET, we believe that wise management of personal financial resources starts with smallest component of the currency, the “Fils” and to promote this concept, we take children and youth in an educational journey towards a new planet of financial edutainment through our innovative and interactive training programs and events.

Financial education has become a need rather than a privilege in our society today. Through it we can prepare a financially responsible generation, whereas school, homes and other concerned entities also share in the responsibility to build such a generation

Dr. Hanif Hasan Al QasimFormer Minister of Education

As the world is facing an economic challenge with regards to the misuse of credit, this initiative is a breath of fresh air raising a generation understanding the money is a tool for productivity and not an end result

Yasmine FarooqParenting Consultant

As a parent, I believe that financial education, like any other life skill that we are aware about, is a vital knowledge for any kid. At Fils Planet this knowledge has been framed through a defined and easy to understand curriculum. My son started to check prices before buying. He is also happy to have a monthly allowance and knows how to commit to it

Waleed Al AliParent

Financial education is important for us as youth because it teaches us the fundamentals of using money and spending it in a wise manner.

Mohammad Saeed Al EterParticipant (13 years)

I was able to learn money terminologies, where money comes from, bartering, understand allowance and how to save, spend and share. We also watched educational videos and played. Overall it was a fun experience and gave me the knowledge that is useful in my daily life.
