An
empowerment program for families of overseas Filipinos, the Financial Literacy,
Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship (FLSE) training program, will start its
training on October 18, 2015, Sunday, at the SANCTUARYO, G/F & 1/F, Nuega
Bldg, Patria village, Burgos Ext. Villamonte, Bacolod City.
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), and Ugat Foundation in cooperation WIMLER Foundation
Philippines. Sanctuaryo is the main organizer and host of the FLSE in Bacolod
City.
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) Sundays 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.
