A DEAL has been struck by the Museum of London Docklands with major American financiers.
The museum in London's Canary Wharf has set up a partnership with Citi financial services group to fund a programme helping youngsters understand finance.
The year-long scheme invites schools in East London to make use of a free learning day and online resources being created to go live online next spring.
The learning day includes an enterprise 'challenge' to plan and cost a corporate event to be held at the museum.
