28May"Financial Education Workshops" on smart financial management techniques

Two online sessions of "Financial Education Workshop" were held for our parents of Family Energy on 22 May 2021. This was jointly launched by the Hong Kong Association of Banks and the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, and supported by the Hong Kong Student Aid Society (HKSAS).

Volunteers from the members of Hong Kong Association of Banks shared basic financial management knowledge, such as what you need to know before saving, spending and borrowing, as well as new consumption patterns under the epidemic and preparations for future crises. Through group discussions, participants could understand their financial characteristics and make wise financial decisions. Volunteers also encouraged participants to join the "Savings Challenge" after the workshop, where they can practice wealth management.

Participants benefited a lot from the workshops. A new mother said: “The content meets my needs because I have to manage my family's finance."  Other participants said that the discussion session allowed them to know more environmental organizations in the community and they could implement green consumption in the future.
