"Keep Living Turkey" Project
Aksigorta And Akut Together Reached A Breakthrough By Reaching More Than 1 Million People With Respect To Natural Disasters And İnsurance Awareness Through The Project Entitled “Keep Living, Turkey”.
In the first phase of the social responsibility project entitled “Keep Living, Turkey”, more than 1 million people, including students, representatives of official institutions, SME employees and citizens, were educated on protecting against natural disasters and taking out insurance through a variety of seminars and training sessions. Mr. Uğur Gülen, the CEO of Aksigorta, expressed his belief that the 5-year project would enable Turkish citizens to take a stand against natural disasters in a better equipped manner and with a better understanding of the importance of being insured against catastrophes.
The “Disaster Training” convoy, set up by Aksigorta and AKUT – Turkey’s most trusted organizations in their own fields to form the social responsibility project entitled “Keep Living, Turkey”, educated more than 1 million people on natural disasters and insurance awareness in a total of 10 provinces and 50 districts. Having completed the first phase of the project at the Kadıköy Square, Aksigorta and AKUT shared the public the results of this 2-month marathon with the general public.
In the first phase of the project, which was conducted with the support of local administrations while enjoying wide participation and strong interest from the general public, the convoy covered a total of 15,000 km in its 2-month tour, which covered Istanbul, Bursa, Izmir, Antalya, Adana, Gaziantep, Malatya, Trabzon, Samsun and Ankara. In this period, one-to-one contact was established with 500,000 people, 100,000 of whom were students and 5,000 were handicapped. Seminars were provided to them on protection against natural disasters and raising awareness on insurance.
Information on “protection against disasters and catastrophes – raising awareness on insurance” was given to state officers such as provincial disaster executives, municipality workers, teachers, headmen, firemen, etc, as well as students and citizens through 1-hour seminars. Each school and state institution which gave permission to the making of seminars was given away “natural disaster and insurance training boards” to ensure continuity of the project and to reach more people. Thousands of our citizens visited the locations of our disaster training convoys, where they were able to experience earthquakes directly with the G Force earthquake simulator, which is Turkey’s first 3-D simulator; and they were educated with respect to the necessary precautions.
