Ms. Bhanida Thavilabh, First Vice President, Corporate Communications and Relations Department, KASIKORNBANK, took part in the AFTERKLASS Roadshow in Nan presented during December 15-18, 2020, for more than 1,000 high school students at four schools in Nan, including Tha Wang Pha Witthayakhom, Pua School, Sisawat Witthayakhan and Sa School. This was the year's first AFTERKLASS Roadshow, focused on equipping young participants aged 15-20 with knowledge on financial management including saving, spending, and investment plans, as well as how to start a business. The roadshow was also a special activity for schools under the Nan Cultivation of Wisdom project that promotes youth networking and equality in learning.
The primary objective of the activities in Nan was to allow youths to enjoy realistic experiences from the AFTERKLASS website via simulation games and provision of financial knowledge, through on ground activities such as image decoding, and the 'Hang Man' and 'Catch Me if You Can' games. They also gained new experiences from the website, packed with knowledge and fun, while receiving numerous souvenirs as well. In addition, teachers from 26 schools under the Nan Cultivation of Wisdom project were invited to observe details throughout the activity.
The website, www.afterklass.com, is the first and only platform in Thailand that provides financial knowledge tailored to youths. Serving as an online community, the website compiles a plethora of content that appeals to teenagers' interests, whether it is in education, entertainment, lifestyle, gaming or workshops for members to participate in, all free of charge. Financial knowledge is categorized into three different Klasses, namely 1) Biz Master - for members interested in trade and investment; 2) Smart Society - for members aiming to develop educational skills; and 3) Play Yard - for members who are activity-oriented, including lifestyle-themed content. AFTERKLASS also organizes workshops year-round to offer knowledge of a wide variety of skills, in addition to hosting annual business camps. Presently, the website has around 30,000 members.
