Global Association of Economics Education

The Global Association of Economics Education (GAEE) is a student-led international NGO founded in 2017 to promote economic education, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship incubation for students in developing countries and marginalised communities. With over 1500+ members, GAEE has a presence in ten countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. GAEE is officially recognised as SDG Action No. 36897 by the United Nations. It is also registered as a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization with EIN 83-4578590 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States of America.

Vision

The club's vision is to promote economics education, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship incubation in an interactive way for the students at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore.

Mission

Currently, it is only functioning in the Bannerghatta Road Campus of the university; however, the club's mission is to construct a link between other campuses of CHRIST University and have the GAEE Christ chapter listed in the top chapters of GAEE.

Potential Outcomes

• International Exposure - The establishment of this club/society allows students to gain international exposure and develop an international network with renowned economists, policymakers, influencers, investment bankers, and entrepreneurs, among others.

• Opportunities - Considering that GAEE has a presence outside the university and the country, the members of this club will also get an opportunity to participate in various events spread across different campuses, universities and countries, with a scope of gaining exposure at the international level. GAEE has speakers from globally renowned organisations like the United Nations and Google for the workshops and webinars.

• Scope - The scope of this club goes beyond the textbook dynamics of economics, entrepreneurship and finance. In this regard, the club helps impart application of the practical concepts from these three fields via various Intra and inter-club events. For example, A workshop on the basics of personal finance, which all students of our age should be aware of. Ultimately this club would help cater to the students a perfect amalgamation of economic, financial and entrepreneurial skills in a fun-filled way.
