Morning Team as part of its initiative, On the Path to Success, aims at creating opportunities to learn directly from people with meaningful experiences and contributions in education, professional development, and community work. Through conversations and educational sessions, the initiative brings practical knowledge, diverse perspectives, and real-world experiences closer to its community, helping participants discover new ideas and perspectives for their own paths.
As part of this initiative, Morning Team hosted an educational webinar titled “Financial Literacy for Everyone,” featuring Mr. Zia Shefaie, an business advisor and university lecturer, who spoke about the importance of financial literacy and its role in everyday life and decision-making.
During the session, Mr. Zia Shafaie discussed fundamental aspects of financial literacy and used practical examples to explore common financial mistakes and the consequences they can have on individuals. He also examined why people can become vulnerable to financial scams and misleading investment opportunities, and discussed practical ways to distinguish legitimate investment opportunities from fraudulent or deceptive schemes.
The webinar provided participants with an opportunity to consider several practical questions:
What is financial literacy, and why does it matter?
Which financial mistakes can have the greatest consequences?
Why do people fall victim to financial scams?
How can individuals assess investment opportunities more carefully?
