Cross Sectoral Consumer and Financial Literacy

Full day cross-sectoral Consumer and Financial Literacy workshops will be held for primary and secondary teachers throughout Victoria commencing in October 2008. The workshops, facilitated by Social Education Victoria (SEV), will build the capacity of teachers to engage students in consumer and financial literacy. The program will support and encourage teachers to look broadly at the curriculum and identify opportunities across four areas of study:

  • Understanding money
  • Consumer education
  • Personal finance
  • Money management

The program will highlight the links to the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) curriculum and provide hands-on opportunities for teachers to explore strategies and resources to develop their own financial literacy programs. Participants will be provided with a Guide and DVD to take back to school to share learnings and support the ongoing implementation of the program.

The program will be held in:

Wantirna on 7 October

Bendigo on 14 October

North Essendon on 21 October

Noble Park on 28 October

Ballarat on 30 October

Geelong on 11 November

Benalla on 18 November

Traralgon on 25 November

Preston on 4 December

A similar program will be run in Term 1, 2009.
