Our Partnership
The Student Care Society decided to join the Aflatoun network to share resources and tools and together have a greater impact on increasing social and financial awareness. They have been implementing Aflatoun’s Social and Financial Education curriculum and through this have made a significant contribution to community entrepreneurship programmes targeting university students, especially in the courses that focus on social and financial skills. This programme combines education with practical application, helping students gain a deeper understanding of their roles in society.
