Aras Bulut İynemli, the famous actor and the face of Vodafone, attended the opening ceremony of the technology classes established in rural schools as part of the "Coding Tomorrow" project. Meeting with the children at the opening held in Kocaeli, İynemli stated, "Supporting the equality of opportunity in education is extremely valuable."

Well-known actor Aras Bulut İynemli attended the opening ceremony of the technology classes established in rural schools within the "Coding Tomorrow" project jointly conducted by the Vodafone Turkey Foundation and Habitat Association. Mr. İynemli, the face of Vodafone, also came together with children at the opening held at Kocaeli Derince Ishakcilar Secondary School. Besides Mr. İynemli, Hasan Süel, the Chair of Vodafone Turkey Foundation, and Sezai Hazır, the Board Chair of Habitat Association also attended the opening.

Stating that he wholeheartedly supports Vodafone's efforts for women and children, Mr. İynemli added, "Knowing how to code will be among the key requirements of our children in the digital future. Thanks to these coding skills, they will be able to lead the digital world. Coding is a universal language. Thus, it is highly significant for each child to learn how to code. Technology classes opened today are also extremely valuable for providing equality of opportunity in education to the children studying in these rural schools. I sincerely support this project. I would like to thank Vodafone Turkey Foundation and Habitat Association for providing all these opportunities to our children."

The project will reach 6,000 children in total

Within the "Coding Tomorrow" project, children between 7-14 across Turkey receive theoretical and practical training by volunteer trainers on various subjects, including the introduction to programming, algorithm logic, application development, storytelling, and game development. Thanks to the project, well-equipped technology classes were opened in 20 rural schools to expand the accessibility of technology for students in rural areas. With the goal of reaching 30 schools by the end of October, the project is expected to reach 6,000 children, including the surrounding villages, with 60 teachers in one year.
