Sponsorship comes under the belief that spreading knowledge contributes to progress
Kuwait – Burgan Bank recently sponsored to the 2017 Gulf Studies Symposium organized by the Center for Gulf Studies at the American University of Kuwait. Themed under ‘Mobilities and Materialities’ of the Gulf and Arabian Peninsula, the third edition bi-annual event was held from 17-19 March at the central garden campus.
Renowned local, regional and international scholars gathered together under one roof to examine the long historical development of people in the Gulf through an analysis of historical and archaeological evidence that ties the patterns of migration and settlement in the region to wider patterns of integration, globalization, and trade.
The bank’s continued contribution to the annual symposium reflects the brand’s mission to improve every segment of the Kuwaiti community as part of its full-fledged CSR program entitled ‘ENGAGE’ - Together to be the change. This program sheds light on important aspects affecting every segment of the society by promoting social welfare through educational, cultural, social and health initiatives. Burgan Bank’s approach to 'ENGAGE' begins with a vital principle that as a Kuwaiti financial institution, its conduct and policies should be aligned with the needs and interests of its community.
