Firstly, I want to say thanks to all my committees for cooperating well with me to make our first Entrepreneurship Society’s event a true success. Although all of us was lack of experience since it was our first time organizing event, we did learn a lot from this event and enjoy ourselves!Let me give some brief explanation about what this next level board game is all about. .
Next Level Board Game is the FIRST business, entrepreneurship and finance board game, it allow need to master financial tools such as insurance, investment, loans and their financial statement to survive in the game. Next Level Board Game is the more than just a game; it is a complete learning package every student should go through before graduating.
This workshop was conducted to teach students more in entrepreneurship mindset, financial literacy, soft skills and team spirit. We invited the creator of this board game, Jay Tiew Jin Jie to conduct this workshop. Jay was graduated from Multimedia University (MMU). He created Next Level Board Game and him also an author of “Why I Skipped Class”.
On the day of the event, participants arrived and everyone of them look excited and was looking forward to try out this new games! Our facilitator, My Jay welcomed all the participants warmly and started off teaching all of us the fundamental about this game. He taught us this game step by step. By having a job and by having business, we all faced different situation and problem to be solved.
When every one of us mastered the basics, we went into a full mode after our lunch break. Every one of them enjoyed themselves, laughter could be heard throughout the whole training room, priceless expression – stressful, cunning, worried, happy, delighted, acting and other expression could be seen in that room.
Mr Jay wrap up the whole event by explaining the meaning and hidden concept behind this game. One good example is insurance. From our game, we can see some of us would buy and keep insurance card so that we will be safe from being fired but some of us took risk but not buying it. As a matter of fact, those who bought insurance are safe from being fired but they spent money for it; those who did not buy insurance save money but they will be fired anytime in the game (in this game insurance card would protect you from being fired when you have a job).
Therefore, in life, buying insurance is important or not? Think by yourself!
Lastly, I would like say thanks to Entrepreneurship Society for giving me this opportunity to host this event. I do believe the things I learned from this event such as leadership, management, teamwork and all sorts of new skills will benefit me in my entrepreneurial pathway!
All the best to Entrepreneurship Society and thanks for reading my lengthy blog post
