Biratnagar International College
Held at Biratnagar International College (BIC) from March 17 to 23, Global Money Week 2025 transformed traditional academic spaces into vibrant learning hubs, all aimed at enhancing financial literacy. The event offered a fresh perspective on financial matters, combining knowledge, awareness, and practical wisdom to empower students regarding their financial futures.
Throughout the week, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and curiosity. Students from all programs eagerly participated, recognizing the rarity of such an opportunity to learn about real-world financial concepts. Smart money management was a central focus of Global Money Week 2025, which provided an open platform for teaching financial literacy in a relaxed and interactive manner.
The week became a great enrichment opportunity because of the varied speakers and programs coordinated. Professionals from banking, entrepreneurial, fintech, and investment sectors were invited to share their experiences and insights. The guest lecture sessions were not purely theoretical but woven with real-life stories, practical advice, and the genuine reflections of actual practitioners which resonated with the students.
For most students, this was their first in-depth education about the skills needed that would shape their lives once they graduated. Ranging from budgeting and saving to investing, online payments, insurance, and education on loans, all the subjects were addressed. The speakers ensured even the most complex concepts were explained in simple terms, and individuals kept up with healthy discussions well after the sessions.
In addition to the lectures, group discussions and interactive Q&A provided the opportunity for the students to engage with the instructor and specialists in person, pose questions freely, and clarify issues they previously found confusing. The supportive learning atmosphere helped to build confidence and encourage the learners to critically question their financial behaviors and decisions.
One of its features was also a feeling of commonality that was established on the way. Students from different years and faculties met together to thrash out proposals, seeing how much they had in common when it came to money. It also highlighted a broader issue that financial literacy is not just a desire but a necessity.
At the week's end, students walked away with knowledge, fresh insights, and a solidified sense of control over their financial futures. The program effectively demonstrated how one-time activities can positively impact lives and promote better financial decision-making for long-term security. At BIC, it began with a week of learning, sharing, and development!
