Recent discussions around global trade and finance have prompted children to seek clarity on economic concepts, often leaving parents at a loss for words. A survey revealed that 41% of parents feel unprepared to teach their kids about money. Workshops like 'Money Matters' by Local Gyan, led by Sonam Ambe and Rajesh Bhargavi Krishnan, aim to bridge this gap by using storytelling to explain complex ideas. These workshops engage children with historical contexts, such as the significance of ancient ports like Nala Sopara, and how they relate to today's economy. By using local examples, such as the impact of the oil crisis on Mumbai's energy fields, children learn to connect everyday experiences with larger economic principles. The initiative emphasizes that trade is not just about goods but also about ideas and culture, making economics relatable and engaging for young minds. As children explore the origins of familiar foods, they gain insights into the historical significance of trade routes, fostering a deeper understanding of the world around them.
