JA SparktheDream is a holistic program aiming to develop primary school students’ financial literacy at early ages and empower them to live their dreams. This program equips students with the skillsets to become financially capable individuals, and the mindsets and framework to become socially-minded, positive contributors to their communities by providing them with tools and opportunities to take charge of their financial future.
This program consists of four sessions which cover three aspects: financial awareness, financial capability, and economic and social inclusion. Students will develop their financial literacy through multifaceted experience combining financial management lessons led by business volunteers, an interactive online learning platform, family activities, community engagement, and a regional student exchange event.
Through JA SparktheDream sessions, students:
Identify the role of money in everyday life
Manage their personal budget and make sound financial choices
Discover the needs of the community and explore creative solutions by applying user-centric thinking skills
Work in a team and express their creativity through presenting their social innovation ideas
