Fiona Macaulay Making Cents International fi...@makingcents. com Where & When Date: March 2 - 5, 2009 Location: Washington, DC ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- -- "Youth Financial Services: Implementing Good Practices in the Field" This course will provide youth "champions" an overview of the importance of youth financial services and of the emerging good practices in the field. But this course will do more than that. That is why we emphasize Implementation. This course will also provide practitioners and others with the knowledge, skills and tools to take action and design financial services interventions directly or in partnership with other complementary organizations. By providing a step-by-step, practical framework for exploring youth financial services interventions, course participants will learn key information for how to: * plan market assessment and market research; * design a holistic youth financial services package; * cultivate partnerships with complementary organizations; and * measure results to ensure youth and the organizations that support youth benefit. Click here for the four-day agenda. And this course will make you discuss, move, role play, talk to youth, use technology, write on flip charts, get advice from peers...maybe even dance. This very interactive course will engage participants for four-days and use learning training methods and involve participants through case studies, simulation exercises and group and individual activities. The course will leverage an existing body of case studies of pilot projects and combine technical resources from both the youth enterprise and microfinance fields. And you will not go home empty handed. One short-term outcome of the course is for each participant to develop an action plan. You will get peer advice from other course participants and course facilitators so you can improve and bring your action plan home and share with your colleagues at work and get started. Who should attend? · Youth Serving Organizations (YSO) Managers · Managers of Microfinance Institutions (MFI) · Technical Assistance providers who support YSOs and MFIs Engaging Instructors & Methodology Lead by Lillian Diaz and Fiona Macaulay, the highly interactive and participatory course will include video presentations, hands-on experience conducting market research with youth, and case studies presented by Save the Children, BRAC, Pro Mujer, the Zakoura Foundation and others.
