An empowerment program for families of overseas Filipinos, the Financial Literacy, Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship (FLSE) training program, will start its training on October 17, 2015, Saturday, at the Patronage of St. Joseph Parish Hall, Pototan, Iloilo. The training is organized by the St. Joseph Movement of Migrants and their Families (SJMMF) in Pototan, Iloilo with support from the Patronage of St. Joseph Parish of Pototan, Iloilo.
The FLSE program is a joint initiative of Migration and Development Consortium composed of the Ateneo School of Government (ASoG), Overseas Filipinos Society for the Promotion of Economic Security (OPSPES), Social Enterprises Development Partnership, Inc. (SEDPI), Ugat Foundation and WIMLER Foundation Philippines.
The Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship (LSE) program was first conducted in Rome, Italy in 2008 and has since reached out to other overseas Filipinos (OFs) in Naples, Milan, Florence, Turin, Dubai, Amsterdam, Paris and Brussels. By April 2013, over 700 had graduated from 21 batches. LSE22 in Hong Kong, which started on March 9, 2013 follows the successful holding of LSE 12, 15 and 16. Also launched in October 2012 was the first FLSE program designed for the families of OFs in the Baclaran area, followed by Davao City, Iloilo City (FLSE-3 Batch-1) and Cagayan de Oro City.
The objective of FLSE is similar to LSE but the emphasis is on the experience of the families left behind. FLSE helps OFW families to acquire skills and knowledge to help their relatives working abroad to achieve their migration goals and prepare for their return and reintegration. It also develops and enhances their leadership skills to become active participants in the community and nation-building.
FLSE covers 13 sessions each, two (2) Saturdays per month, over a six-month period. Sessions last from 9:30AM to 4:30PM. The program covers three (3) modules: financial literacy, leadership and social entrepreneurship. FLSE aims to develop the leadership skills and potentials among overseas Filipinos and their families, provide knowledge and skills in savings and investments and other financial matters and develop and/or enhance their entrepreneurial skills.
At the end of the course, a certificate is awarded at a graduation ceremony by the ASoG and other partners to trainees who attend all the sessions.
