Digital Finance for Youth
About the Project
The project Digital Finance 4 Youth, aims to train youth workers, and key stakeholders of youth across Europe, especially those in deprived areas, to understand why it is so important to teach relevant digital financial education to our youth.
Research shows money problems are the second biggest contributor to poor mental health amongst youth, through this project, we will aim to train youth workers and impact the youth by providing them with a good foundational education in financial intellect.
Goals & Aims
One aim of Digital Finance for Youth is to foster digital financial literacy: a blending of traditional money management (saving, budgeting, credit) with skills specific to online and app-based finance tools. Another goal is to support mental and emotional well-being by reducing financial stress through education that builds awareness, prudence, and self-confidence. The project intends to strengthen community partnerships, connecting educators, finance professionals, and youth organisations so that best practices are shared and local challenges are addressed. Finally, there is a commitment to sustainability, so that the tools and curricula remain relevant over time as financial technologies and platforms evolve.
