Financial literacy means much more than managing money and budgeting at a basic level, the consumption and saving habits of individuals in households reflect the financial nature of society. In today's socio-economic conditions, it is important for people to have financial literacy knowledge in terms of both predicting and solving financial problems and leading a prosperous life.
Financial literacy is a key skill, and the project aims to develop this skill from an early age by using digital methods and materials.

Expected results:

1. Prepared curriculum and teaching materials on financial literacy, which will be taught at the secondary level by the experts in the partnership.
2. The content and activities in the curriculum will also be included in a prepared digital edition.
3. A digital portal will be created where students and teachers will have access to financial content and will be able to conduct online financial transactions. The portal will allow students to perform simulations of: calculating credits, withdrawing money, depositing and monitoring financial transactions in a virtual environment. The virtual environment will be used for hands-on training regarding their financial literacy.
