It has been a pleasure to work with staff at Geelong Lutheran College and Good News Lutheran College this week to upskill new teachers about the refreshed What’s My Business? Project that we run in partnership with ALWS.
We heard updated stories that share project work from some of the 10 countries where ALWS is partnering to provide long term sustained support that lifts people out of poverty situations by providing education and resources.
The project has a really strong focus on exploring the concept of community and the impact of education to help communities flourish. There is also a really strong financial literacy focus where students develop and understanding of how community funded financing works to kickstart and support small business in communities without access to banking institutions.
Looking forward to following the journey of the Year 6 team at GLC and the Year 5 team at GNLC as they embark on this authentic and meaningful project later in the year.
