Women and Finance: Workshop on Financial Literacy
Posted by Partner Bank Team 24 jan 2026
The Partner Bank’s view of financial independence is based on the conviction that economic security arises, among other things, from knowledge and consistent habits. This belief led to the recent “Women and Finance” workshop, which was designed around the bank’s vision that exploring financial wellbeing demands transparent guidance, open dialogue and the chance to learn in a supportive setting. In this sense, the event was an expression of an endeavor that aims to make financial topics accessible as well as relatable to different generations of women.
A Look Inside the Event
The workshop took place at the Partner Bank Academy. The program began with introductory remarks by the Board of the Partner Bank, followed by several keynote contributions that addressed the topic of finance for women. The workshop offered ample opportunities for Q&As, and especially for interaction. This mode of presentation gave the audience a well-rounded view of the elements that shape long-term financial well-being.
Life Radio collaborated with the bank on the event by having invited listeners, which brought together a varied and interested group. The audience included women at different stages of life. We even had family groups attending together, including grandmother-mother-granddaughter and mother-son combinations! This intergenerational mix symbolically represented that, instead of a single moment in life, financial education is a process that benefits from shared experiences and conversations.
Topics Presented and Insights Shared
Speakers invited by Partner Bank, including but not limited to Elham Ettehadieh and Sahba Enayati, facilitated the workshop, each focusing on one aspect of the topic. One topic focused on tangible assets and how they can contribute to financial independence. Different investments were introduced. Additionally, the presentation explained how tangible assets, like gold and real estate, can support stability and how individuals might consider incorporating them into planning. Gold was spoken of as a stable investment, and its role in financial protection during uncertain times was elaborated on. This further encouraged the audience to consider both opportunities and potential pitfalls within their own financial situations.
A representative of the TwoWings Foundation added a social dimension by describing how educational initiatives can change futures and create wider opportunities. This contribution helped link financial knowledge with the broader idea that education strengthens both individuals and communities. Afterwards, the presentation on the relationship between health and wealth added another layer to the discourse on women’s financial education and well-being.
Key Concepts for Women and Finance
Throughout the event, several ideas resurfaced in different contexts. One was the importance of having clear principles when thinking about saving. Participants reflected on how habits and knowledge influence financial wellbeing. The conversations highlighted that saving is about developing a mindset that supports thoughtful decision making.
Another important theme was the recognition that financial planning benefits from awareness of risks and opportunities. The speakers did not present one path but encouraged participants to examine their own circumstances and understand the tools available to them. This approach aligned naturally with the idea that women often navigate complex financial realities and benefit from knowledge that strengthens confidence.
Women mentioned that attending the workshop felt like meaningful “me time” when they could invest in themselves. The mix of presentations, questions, and shared reflections created a space where participants could connect with the content in a personal way. The collaborative tone remained strong, and the interactions showed that learning had taken place in both directions. Speakers and attendees continued to explore ideas side by side without barriers.
Participants and speakers left the meeting with a clearer understanding of why financial education matters for stability in the lives of women. The event brought together different generations, different viewpoints, and different levels of experience, yet all shared the same intention: to initiate and continue a conversation around financial education for women.
