WePlay Partners with Türk Eğitim Derneği (TED) to Support 86 Students
WePlay, a social entertainment platform operated under WEJOY PTE. LTD., headquartered in Singapore, has teamed up with the Turkish Education Association (TED) to support 86 academically successful students facing financial constraints. This partnership highlights WePlay's commitment to corporate social responsibility, placing educational support as a pivotal priority in the Turkish market.
Uniting Forces for a Noble Cause
The initiative comes following WePlay's previous social responsibility projects, which included contributions to youth football and support for children with leukemia. The new collaboration aims to ensure these 86 students can continue their education and work towards fulfilling their dreams. This reflects WePlay's belief that access to education is essential for fighting inequalities and empowering future generations.
About Türk Eğitim Derneği (TED)
Founded in 1928, TED is one of Turkey's oldest and most reputable educational institutions. The organization is dedicated to promoting equal opportunities in education and contributing to the development of education policies and systems. Notably, TED is both an educational practitioner and a policy advocate, with its research arm, TEDMEM, recognized for its data-driven analyses of educational policies. TED’s mission transcends local boundaries, focusing on service provision to all children, irrespective of their social or economic backgrounds.
Nora, the Country Manager for WePlay in Turkey, highlighted that the decision to collaborate with TED was influenced not just by their extensive experience in education, but also by the alignment of values between the two organizations. She stated, "Education is a key that unlocks possibilities in life, and equality in educational opportunities is directly related to every young person's ability to chase their dreams. Supporting organizations like TED, which work towards educational equity, allows WePlay to make tangible contributions to the progress of Turkish society."
The Power of Play in Social Responsibility
This partnership illustrates the 'Doing Good through Play' ethos that WePlay embodies. Social entertainment platforms have a unique ability to forge connections; they can bring millions of young users closer together globally. WePlay aims to harness this bond to champion educational equity and turn these connections into a powerful force for positive change.
Nora further expressed, "Joy and responsibility are not opposites. Every interaction and support from WePlay users can transform into a light that changes others' lives. This partnership is not just a donation; it is a pledge from WePlay and the youth in Turkey to share social responsibility together."
Future Vision: Amplifying Social Responsibility
This collaboration with TED is just the beginning for WePlay. The company envisions expanding its education-focused social responsibility initiatives in Turkey, which may include:
- - Exploring a 'social gaming + education' model to engage platform users in social responsibility activities.
- - Collaborating with more local educational institutions to support the development of youth in diverse regions and among various groups.
- - Integrating social responsibility into product development processes to embed a 'technology for good' philosophy into the platform's DNA.
In alignment with TED’s conviction that education transforms lives, WePlay is committed to continuing to change the futures of millions of students through concrete actions.
