With the help of @Desarrollo de la Comunidad A.C. , our students started the first of 10 sessions of the Financial Education workshop with great enthusiasm.
They began with a key question: “Does knowing how to decide affect the well-being of my family?” From there, the students reflected on how money directly impacts our emotions and on the importance of making smart decisions and facing their consequences.
In this first session, they built together the path they want to travel:
They defined their goals: They want to learn how to invest, use a credit card responsibly, say goodbye to “ant spending,” and meet their financial goals.
They made agreements: They committed to maintaining a “beginner’s mind”, active listening,g and a lot of respect, making it clear that they want a dynamic and participatory workshop.
Key learning: They went through Maslow’s Pyramid to learn to distinguish clearly between Needs, Wants, and Dreams.
We are proud to see them so participatory, willing to share their experience,s and ready to take charge of their financial future. This great journey is just beginning!
