Cashflow Club Jakarta Meetup [OS]

For those who know Robert Kiyosaki, they've should ever heard about The Cashflow Game. Robert Kiyosaki is best known as the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. This is the #1 personal finance book of all time, which has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people around the world think about money. Based on his true personal journey about the experiences of raised by two different-way-of-thinking fathers, Poor Dad (his biological father) and Rich Dad (his best friend's father), he learned one important concept which keep poor become poorer and rich become richer. 

"The poor and middle class work for money. The rich make money work for them."

He illustrates it in a Cashflow Quadrant as above.

To teach people about money and investing as a fun and experiential way, he then created an educational tool in board game format named The Cashflow Game. Through this game, you will learn to first understand your own behavior when managing money and opportunities offered, to can eventually fight your way out of the rat race.

The GOOD NEWS is, now in Jakarta, there are a group of people who like this idea of learning, then they buy it and meet up regularly every two weeks to play and learn together. It is a Cashflow Club Jakarta and everyone welcome to play!

The detail schedule of regular meet up can be looked at :

Young Leaders Programs offer students aged between 14 and 17 a taste of university life, right here in Australia. In December, students can choose an academic stream - all of which align with the University of Melbourne's New Generation undergraduate degrees, to give students an idea of what they might like to study in the future.

The Young Leaders Programs are designed to inspire, increase confidence and guide students on a pathway to tertiary education

In 2013, more that 250 students participated in the Young Leaders Programs. In July 2014 alone, Trinity College provided opportunities for an unprecedented 221 students across the Arts, Commerce, New York Jazz Symposium, Fine Arts, Biomedicine, Leadership for Social Justice and English Intensive Streams.

The Young Leaders Programs is one of the pathways that students can participate in, which is a stepping stone into the Trinity College Foundation Studies program after high school. YLP and TCFS work together to prepare students for Australia's best tertiary education.

STREAMS

December 2014 will be very exciting for Young Leaders, with the following streams: 

Arts

Based on psychological principles, students will explore Arts majors such as psychology, media and communications. Students will investigate the psychology behind how they persuade others for their own benefit, and how such techniques can influence their interactions and the decisions they make.

Students will also have the chance to dissect media industries and their impact on politics, society and culture. Students in this stream will visit the Melbourne Magistrates Courts and participate in a number of interactive workshops and experiments.

Biomedicine

In this stream, students will explore the world of medicine and medical research, including genetics, human physiology and human structure and function. They will also Investigate the issues pertinent to our world today, and look at the rapidly changing areas of forensics and bioethics.

Your students will perform real dissections, visit the genetics laboratories at the University of Melbourne, help solve a murder mystery and venture on excursions to the Melbourne Museum and the Zoo.

Commerce

Back by popular demand, students will explore the fields of accounting, business, economics, finance, management and marketing. Students will be introduced to the Australian legal system, civil and contract disputes, the Australian accounting and economics systems, the use of GST, and the developing area of green economics.

The Commerce stream will give students an insight into life in the world of business as they participate in interactive workshops and a stock market exchange game.

Nutrifood Leadership Award 2011 [C]

Nutrifood Leadership Award is an Indonesian student leadership award event. Firstly held in 2006, known as Leadership Scholarship, this year’s Nutrifood Leadership Award comes with a new format.

Having such a rapid growth of its users, social media – especially Facebook and Twitter – has become a powerful tool to initiate positive changes in society. Nearly 37 million Indonesians have placed Indonesia second in the list of countries with the most Facebook users in the world. Meanwhile, Indonesia became the fourth largest Twitter user with nearly 6 million Tweeps.

Social media as a powerful tool to initiate changes, and students as the agent of change with their leadership are a great combination to start movements that will bring positive impacts in society. Inspired by such, Nutrifood Leadership Award picked the theme of Turn Ideas Into Movement Through Social Media, and hopefully will emerge new movements on which the students are the frontliners.
