Happy Moms Association launches on June 6, at 5.30 pm, at Diverta Lipscani, the book “Mimi’s Adventures – financial education for the whole family”. The book was launched in Brasov in April and so far more than 300 copies have been sold. The book is the pillar of a programme called Business Kid, run pro bono by the Happy Moms Association in schools in Brasov, Bucharest, Alba Iulia, Cluj-Napoca and Sibiu, for 1,000 children aged 7 to 11. The program is carried out in two stages: a play performed in schools by local children’s theatre groups and, subsequently, workshops based on practical exercises, anchored in children’s reality, from the book Mimi’s Adventures.
The Business Kid program started in Brasov on 24 May 2019, at Secondary School No. 3, in the presence of 270 children, with the premiere of the play Mimi and Business, whose script was adapted from one of the stories in the book. It is a project thought for 3 years by the president of the association, Lect. Dr. Ec.
