"The Start Smart program changes the way young people learn about money. By making money management interactive, engaging and fun through a series of free workshops and online resources, [this program] equip[s] students with the confidence and competence to make smart decisions about money."

This slew of intercultural resources from AFS-USA (formerly the American Field Service) offers lesson plans in Cultural Studies, Global Awareness, Human Rights, STEM Education, Social Activism, and Intercultural Learning. Each lesson plan is well-defined and easily implemented, with an overview, objectives, time for the lesson, materials, and a description of the activity. For example, under Cultural Studies, the lesson on Generalizations and Stereotypes takes approximately 45 minutes. Upon completion, students should be able to define the notion of culture, recognize stereotypes, and distinguish aspects of different cultures, among other objectives. Other lesson plans include Exploring Islamic Traditions, Microfinance, and a lesson on the "iceberg" analogy of how hidden dimensions of culture manifest.

This project is an online educational resource of corporate, industry and Government case studies developed specifically to help students better understand Australian and New Zealand business by using real examples to illustrate parts of the Business Studies/ Business Management/ Commerce curriculum.
