JA Mascareignes Online Financial Talk

The ‘Online Financial Talk’, offered by JA Mascareignes, is a workshop on money management carried out online. It is the digital version of the ‘Managing Your Money Smartly’ program and was first run during the Global Money Week 2021.

The basics of financial management are taught through this online workshop. From the comfort of your home, you can learn about the ways of using money smartly and distinguish between needs, wants and financial goals. This workshop also guides the participants towards savings and helps them learn about budgeting so that they can reach their financial freedom with a proper plan. Ending with the main lessons for wealth-building, the participants will gain knowledge on how they can steer their life in terms of their finances.

The very first online workshop of financial talk was held in March 2021 through Zoom. It was a 45-minute session, engaging participants aged between 16 to 25 years. The latter felt free to clear their questions related to money management and the feedback at the end of the session showed that the participants found the workshop useful because learning on budgeting was new to them. Budgeting is one of the critical financial skills which increases the participants’ understanding of their spending, prioritizing their expenses, staying debt-free and focusing on long-term goals.

This digital version of the financial management program is open, free of charge to participants aged 16 to 25 years. It has been bulked up to two sessions of two hours each, and a certificate of participation will be provided upon completion of the program. Please feel free to contact JA Mascareignes for more information on registration for the online financial talk.
