In February members of Economics Teachers Society attended an information session at the University to learn more about the recently signed China Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) . This discussion was led by Professor Christopher Findlay , Executive Dean of the Faculty of the Professions and Mr David Morfesi the Executive Director of the Institute for International Trade.
It was a great turn out on the day, and those who attended appreciated the opportunity to have a round table discussion about ChAFTA and have their questions answered by our resident experts. Overall the group left with an enhanced understanding of what this agreement means for Australia and a greater understanding of the topic to pass onto their students.
If you were unable to attend on the day, or are just interested in learning more, the presentation slides from the day are available here or you can watch a recording of the information session here.
Copies of the materials that were handed out on the day can be found below.
