a.s.r. pensioenen and the Foundation Lezen & Schrijven celebrate partnership

Former low literates Lenie and Naziha sound the gong to celebrate the start of a partnership between a.s.r. pensioenen and the Foundation Lezen & Schrijven. It kicks off with a donation of 20,000 euros.

About a.s.r. and Stichting Lezen en Schrijven

In the Netherlands, 2.5 million adults have difficulty reading, writing and/or calculating. This has a major impact on their personal lives. Those who cannot read and write well, experience more difficulty in finding a job, often live less healthily and have less control over money matters. Mastering a language simply makes you stronger.

The Foundation, together with its partners, strives to help as many people as possible in the Netherlands, to learn how to read, write, calculate and have digital skills.

Folkert Pama, director of customer service at a.s.r. pensions: ‘We have found a partner in the Foundation Stichting Lezen & Schrijven that matches the mission of a.s.r., to make people self-reliant. It’s important cause. And this is how we hope to contribute in make pensions understandable as well.’

Geke van Velzen, director of the Foundation Lezen & Schrijven: ‘For the Foundation, cooperation with the business community is an integral part of tackling low literacy. With organizations such as a.s.r. we can achieve more, in an attempt to reduce and prevent low literacy. We look forward to a long and successful collaboration.

IMC Weekendschool Basis Starts off the new school year

To start off the new school year, several pupils of the IMC Basis programme sound the gong.

About IMC Basis

IMC Basis is an educational program at primary schools, developed by Stichting IMC Weekendschool. At a growing number of primary schools throughout the Netherlands, in underprivileged areas, students of grades seven and eight (ages 9 to 11) get the chance to acquire the skills, knowledge and motivation that they need to develop to the fullest of their capabilities, to grow beyond their limits, and learn to make motivated choices for their future. The students participate in IMC Basis weekly for three hours, over two years, during school hours. Professionals (volunteers) introduce students to a wide range of topics, including journalism, law, medicine, entrepreneurship and IT.

We envision that within ten years IMC Basis education is an accepted and integrated part of the Dutch school system. Already, IMC Basis has scaled up from six to thirty-four locations in the Netherlands in the last couple of years. In the coming years the program will prepare for scaling up to 50 IMC Basis schools, and to then continue scaling up on the basis of field-findings, research outcomes, and continuing conversations with educational policy makers.

IMC Weekendschool was founded in 1998 with support of IMC Financial Markets & Asset Management.
