Prudential Life Ghana And JA Ghana Commemorates Global Money Week With Students of Dansoman Cluster of Schools

Prudential Life Insurance Ghana, a leading insurer in the country, and JA Ghana, a member of JA Worldwide, one of the world’s largest global, non-profit organization dedicated to empowering young people to own their economic success, have collaborated to celebrate the 11th edition of Global Money Week (GMW), which will take place between 20-26 March 2023. To commemorate this event, a Teen Talk session will be organized among students in the Dansoman Cluster of Schools in Accra on Friday, 24th March 2023. The theme for this year’s GMW is “Plan your money, plant your future.”

 

GMW is an annual global awareness-raising campaign on the importance of ensuring that young people, from an early age, are financially aware and are gradually acquiring the knowledge, skills, attitude and behaviours necessary to make sound financial decisions and ultimately achieve financial well-being and financial resilience. The event aims to raise awareness among young people about the importance of financial literacy and how it can contribute to achieving financial well-being and resilience. The session will provide an opportunity for students to discuss and deliberate on financial literacy, its inclusion in the national curriculum, and interventions by various stakeholders to improve financial literacy among young people and adults in Ghana.

 

 

 

Participating in the Teen Talk session will be 15 students from each of the five Junior High Schools in the Dansoman Cluster of Schools. Two students will represent each school as panelists in the discussion. The participating schools are Dansoman 1 Basic School, Dansoman Community School, Tunga Islamic Basic School, Dansoman 4 Basic School, and St. Augustine’s Basic School. The Teen Talk session will provide a platform for Prudential Life Insurance Ghana and JA Ghana to interact with students and contribute to the critical need and growth of financial literacy. By educating young students on financial decisions and responsibilities, the event aims to impact the financial resilience and health of the community.

 

 

 

The event promises to be informative and engaging, providing students with practical tips and strategies to make informed financial decisions. JA Ghana and Prudential Life Insurance Foundation invite all students, teachers, and members of the public to join the event and contribute to the promotion of financial literacy in Ghana.
