We had a fantastic two days with Caroline from Bank of Ireland. The children worked in teams to learn and undertake the tasks involved in setting up a business. They first had to agree on what product or service to produce and then negotiate the roles, responsibilities and structures of a company. Finally, they had the chance to practise and present their financial and marketing strategy to a recognised business person (“The dragon”) at the end of the workshop. During the program, each pupil had the opportunity to work on improving their communication, logical thinking and confidence building skills in a dynamic and fun learning environment.
