SIFE is an international non-profit organization that works with leaders in business and higher education to mobilize university students to make a difference in their communities while developing the skills to become socially responsible business leaders. Participating students form teams on their university campuses and apply business concepts to develop outreach projects that improve the quality of life and standard of living for people in need. An annual series of regional and national competitions provides a forum for teams to present the results of their projects, and to be evaluated by business leaders serving as judges. National champion teams advance to the prestigious SIFE World Cup. In addition to the community aspect of the program, SIFE’s leadership and career initiatives create meaningful opportunities for learning and exchange among the participants as well as the placement of students and alumni with companies in search of emerging talent.
About Trading Futures
Trading Futures initially started out as the flagship project of the Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) society at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in 2009. After several years of existence and through the successful endorsement of our partners at HSBC, Teach First and Into-University, it has transformed into a comprehensive and engaging teaching resource on financial literacy.
The aim of the Trading Futures Syllabus is:
- To complement the learning in class by providing students with an interactive module focusing on financial literacy. - To present information in an engaging manner through various methods of learning and a Trading Game at the end of the module
