UZCARD in continuation of the UZCARD Kids project has launched a board game “Business Code” for teenagers from 12 years old. Earlier the company announced the release of the game “Financial Code: Who am I?”, designed for young children from 6 years old, which is distributed free of charge through the project’s partner banks.

“Business Code” is presented at UZCARD FORUM 2024 and is aimed at helping the younger generation to master key skills of personal finance management and develop entrepreneurial thinking.

The game offers participants to try themselves in the role of an entrepreneur, starting from choosing a business idea and ending with strategic decisions that can lead to success or difficulties. Participants go through all stages of company creation, face real business situations and develop skills in strategic thinking, decision-making and financial planning. The main advantages of the game are realistic scenarios in which players go through all stages of business creation and development, as well as the development of strategic thinking, decision-making and financial planning. “Business Code” promotes teamwork and communication between participants.

Strategy for popularizing financial literacy games

Along with the presentation of the game at UZCARD FORUM 2024, the strategy of dissemination and familiarization with the game to as many interested adults and children as possible was also announced. UZCARD plans to implement several initiatives soon:

Distribution of the games in educational institutions: the games will be given to schools and higher education institutions.
Drawings and active promotion in social networks through UZCARD Kids channels.

Placement of games in cafes for familiarization of visitors and on-site games.
Use of games at events organized by UZCARD for children.
Championships among 11th year pupils and students will also be organized, as well as training for educators and activists to conduct financial literacy classes in educational institutions.

“We are committed to investing in the future generation and are confident that improving financial literacy among young people will benefit not only individual families, but the country. Teaching children the basics of finance and entrepreneurship is critical in today’s world. The Business Code game makes this process fun by helping teens learn key skills in business management, decision making and creative thinking. Our game not only entertains, but also educates, preparing children for future challenges and contributing to the development of the country’s economy,” said Hilola Suleymanova, UZCARD’s Director of HR, PR and CSR.

It should be noted that this program is an important step in the development of financial education and entrepreneurial skills among the younger generation, which ultimately contributes to improving the level of financial literacy in Uzbekistan.

The games help young people and children to better understand how finances work and how they can make smart financial decisions.
