Money Matters: From Classroom to LegCo (LegCo Member Sharing x LegCo Tour Visit x Awards Presentation) – 8 July 2025

In collaboration with the School of Business and the Department of Economics and Finance, the social engagement event “Money Matters: From Classroom to LegCo” offered SBUS students with a unique opportunity to explore the intersection between personal finance and civic responsibility. Students engaged with LegCo members, who shared insights into the Council’s rich history and its essential role in governance. A guided tour of the LegCo complex offered students a firsthand look at the heart of legislative activity.

The event’s highlight was a roundtable discussion emphasizing the importance of personal finance management for young people. LegCo members addressed the financial challenges faced by today’s youth and shared practical strategies for budgeting, saving, and investing. Additionally, secondary school teams presented engaging videos on scam prevention, equipping students with crucial skills to navigate an increasingly digital landscape safely.

Students left the event with a deeper understanding of financial literacy and its significance in fostering responsible citizenship. They gained essential skills for effective financial management while recognizing the ethical implications of their choices. By bridging education and legislative processes, this event empowered students to take charge of their financial futures and inspire positive contributions to their communities, promoting sustainable practices and social responsibility.
