 Social Responsibility Project for Youth from Amazon Turkey


Amazon Turkey has started a social responsibility project called “Smile to the Future with Technology” in cooperation with Tuzla Municipality and Habitat Association. This project aims to offer a one-year special training program for more than 4,000 young people aged 7-18 to develop skills for the digital workplaces of the future. Over the course of one year, it is anticipated that young people will develop their computer science, coding, machine learning and 3D design skills. The Amazon Technology Classroom, located in Istanbul Tuzla Municipality Waterfall Education Park, provides students with the necessary technological equipment while providing a customized education area.


The trainings will be given by volunteer trainers trained by the Habitat Association, and a specially designed curriculum will be used in this process. In addition, within the framework of this project, Amazon Turkey, and Habitat plan to provide technological trainings and technological equipment support to high school teachers in the region throughout the next year. Under the coordination of Tuzla Municipality, the trained teachers will have the opportunity to teach in the Amazon Technology Class, so that young people in the region will be able to receive education in this class and the overall impact of the project will be increased. As of September, applications will be accepted, and young people will start to receive their education. Another innovation of Amazon Turkey is the Prime Day discount campaign. This year, the products and brands that will reverse the rules in the regulation of the campaign and will be on sale will be determined together with the customers. Amazon has announced that it has commissioned Prime Discount Hunters to collect discount requests. This team will collect discount requests from their followers and this information will be considered when determining Prime Day discounts.
