Developing tools to support financial education for youth

The project empowers young people aged 14-18 to develop essential financial literacy skills for navigating adult life. Through innovative tools, workshops, and non-formal learning, it equips them to make informed decisions about money, savings, and investments. Youth workers and educators are also trained to support financial education at local and European levels. The project fosters inclusion, autonomy, and long-term resilience for youth across partner countries.

With this project we aim to

Build the capacity of the 5 partners to support youth in improving their financial literacy and making better informed financial choices leading to their personal and economic growth.

Objectives

Develop a comprehensive methodology for financial education based on non-formal education principles and interactive learning that comprises 10 offline training modules and corresponding e-learning modules, during the 2 years of the project.
Improve the competences of 30 youth workers/teachers in delivering financial education workshops by providing them with hands-on training on the methodology and mentoring during its 6-month implementation with youth.
Improve the financial competences of min 500 youth, aged 14-18 from the 5 partner countries, helping them to better understand essential financial concepts and develop the skills and attitudes needed to make informed decisions regarding their finances, during Nov 2025-Dec 2026.
Raise awareness among min 240 youth from each partner country, aged 14-18 about the importance of acquiring fundamental skills in personal finances management and motivate them to seek additional information & resources.
