About the event

This interactive workshop turns budgeting into a game, not a lecture!

Working independently or in small groups, you’ll step into the shoes of fictional students trying to survive a term on a 'student' budget, making decisions about rent, food, nights out, part‑time work and those surprising “life happens” events along the way.

You will learn how small choices add up, experiment with different strategies and feel the impact of shocks like unexpected bills or reduced shifts—without risking your real bank balance and leave with practical tools and simple habits for planning your own budget, making compromises that work for you, and building financial breathing space into student life.
