To celebrate GMW2021, Junior Achievement Dominica planned different events, especially digital contests. The official theme of GMW 2021 “Take care of yourself, take care of your money” inspired many ideas. For example, it sparked a discussion with the youth on understanding what does the theme mean to them as a young person going through the global pandemic. Top three winners of the digital contests received prizes. The winner won a tour to the banking institute to better understand the financial world.
