Tala helps advance financial literacy among Filipinos with TALAkayan workshops
We are living in a world today where information is readily available and accessible with the use of internet. But, learning face-to-face is a different level when it comes to financial literacy. And one of the best approaches is through a seminar and workshops where active participation is encouraged between the speaker and the attendees.
Tala, the world’s first fintech company for the Global Majority, understands the importance of financial literacy to accelerate financial inclusion. In response to the need for stronger financial education in the country, TALA Philippines rolled out TALAkayan, a series of workshops together with financial literacy advocate and money expert Salve Duplito where participants can learn money management skills and be equipped with useful tools for their financial journey.

Each workshop is designed in a way that is interactive and catered to the needs of the respective audiences, using examples and scenarios that are relatable and relevant to their everyday life to make learning more effective. Some of the most recent TALAkayan workshops were conducted among CCT (conditional cash transfer) beneficiaries in Pasig City, and women and mothers in Quezon City.
One of the presentation where Ms. Salve talked about is the Vision Board: A Life that Give You Joy. |
