CommonSenseEconomivs is moving through Georgia! Meet Natela…

Meet Natela from Georgia. Natela is one of the 4 Georgian trainers leading workshops to equip secondary school teachers with the tools and techniques they need to bring economics alive in the classroom. Here’s what she had to say about her participation in our train-the-trainer week earlier this year.

“This training was not just professional development, it was personal awakening! I saw economics education in a new light. The content was top-notch and the trainers were phenomenal. I feel excited to share this newfound economic knowledge with other teachers. I can't wait to start revolutionizing the way economics is taught in Georgia.”

Our thanks to the Rising Tide Group for supporting our Teacher Training Pilot in Georgia, Kosovo and Ukraine. We’ve trained almost 200 teachers this year and will reach over 400 in 2025. Follow us as this story evolves!

The month of October 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of F. A. Hayek winning the Nobel Prize . Winning such a prize is obviously a big deal, but someone wins one every year, so what’s the big deal about this guy?
