Alabuga Start programme in Uganda: The Business Cats Financial Literacy Olympiad finals were held in Uganda
The final stage of the Business Cats Olympiad on the basics of financial literacy was held at the University of Kampala. The event was attended by 24 future participants of the Alabuga Start programme.
The winners of the Olympiad were three girls who scored the highest number of points:
- Lisa (171 points)
- Hindu (171 points)
- Anita (163 points)
We would like to remind you that Business Cats is a business simulation developed by the specialists of the SEZ ‘Alabuga’ and gives an opportunity to assess the analytical abilities and communication skills of the players.
Unfortunately, 7 participants of the final stage of the Olympiad could not avoid bankruptcy in the game. Despite this, each participant received memorable gifts from the SEZ ‘Alabuga’, and the winners were awarded valuable prizes.
Special awards and new candidates
Special attention was paid to the participants who made a significant contribution to the promotion of the Alabuga Start programme in Uganda. Programme ambassador Esther Kironde was presented with a certificate and a gift for her active work.
Also during the event, the winners of the online ‘Start Programme’ Quest competition on social media were awarded. The ladies had to publish 3 posts on their social media: their thoughts on Alabuga Start before coming, their thoughts on the business simulation ‘Business Cats’, and 5 reasons to choose Alabuga Start. Three winners of the online competition received commemorative souvenirs.
The Business Cats Financial Literacy Olympiad finals became not only a platform for demonstrating knowledge and skills of the participants, but also an important step in the development of international cooperation.
