Samsung R&D Institute India–Bangalore (SRI-B) celebrated the spirit of Nanum Week with an initiative that brought together inclusive digital learning, employee creativity and meaningful moments of connection at Asha Kiran Special Needs School in Bengaluru.

“Nanum” means “sharing” in Korean. As a regular practice during Nanum Week, Samsung employees come together for community-driven activities that reflect this spirit of sharing. At Asha Kiran, SRI-B supported the school’s 176 students through a contribution towards inclusive digital learning, followed by a campus visit filled with music, games and laughter.

Supporting inclusive learning through technology

To support the students’ educational journey, SRI-B contributed 10 Samsung learning tablets to the school. The tablets were preloaded with AVAZ AAC, an accessible communication and learning application designed to support children with diverse learning and developmental needs, including those with Autism and ADHD.

With interactive visual aids and sensory-friendly digital tools, the tablets can help teachers tailor lessons to individual needs while giving students new ways to participate in classroom activities and develop communication, cognitive and motor skills.

Sharing creativity and care

In the weeks leading up to the visit, employees across the SRI-B office came together for a creative campaign, handcrafting more than 100 paper bouquets and writing personalised message cards for the students.

Each bouquet carried a message of warmth and encouragement, giving employees an opportunity to contribute their time and creativity to the celebration.

25 employee volunteers, accompanied by senior leaders Amit Mannan and Sudheer Gowda, visited the school’s Horamavu campus to present the bouquets and spend time with the students.

The afternoon began with a song and dance performance by the students, followed by interactive games that brought the children and employees together. The campus was filled with smiles, conversation and shared laughter as everyone joined in the celebrations.

Through the initiative, SRI-B brought the spirit of Nanum to life, sharing technology, creativity and time to support inclusive learning and build meaningful connections with the community.
