Money Talks offers a unique opportunity for children to engage with financial education in a fun and meaningful way. This event encourages kids to think beyond spending and saving, exploring planning, decision-making, and problem-solving through their own creative market stalls. It’s a celebration of cultural identity and community spirit, where children share their stories through products they create.
Each child is invited to prepare one main product or a small range of related items to display and sell at their own stall. Parents are encouraged to support their children while allowing them to take the lead in deciding what to make, how to present it, and how to price it. Children will reflect on their product’s inspiration, cultural connections, and value, helping them build confidence in communicating their ideas.
The event takes place at Dianella Community Centre, located at 6 Congo Drive, Tarneit West. This accessible venue is welcoming to families and provides a safe space for children to showcase their creativity and entrepreneurial skills. Parking and public transport options are available nearby.
Children should come prepared with their products and be ready to explain their creations in their own words—no memorized speeches required. The event is free to attend and open to all ages, making it a perfect family outing. Organisers encourage parents to help children think through key questions about their products before the event.
This is a free event with no booking fees. For more information or to get involved, families can contact the organiser directly. It’s a wonderful chance to support your child’s financial literacy and cultural pride in a supportive community environment.
