Description of the Project
For the present project the consortium is ready to make the next step focusing on making the EDUFIN Curriculum on financial education more accessible to educator through wide dissemination activities and training course to educator having as the main aim to train those educators on how to carry out financial literacy courses to young people at risk of social exclusion. This aim is based on the belief that training educators is the way to guarantee a bigger number of young adults will receive a quality financial education. As the National Strategies for Financial Education: OECD/INFE Policy Handbook (2015) considers, it should be promoted the education and competence of the educators, trainers and intermediaries. This way, the European curriculum on financial education will be disseminated and will get closer to people belonging to the profile from each of the member countries.
