Target groups

Personal finance management has become a life skill of the 21st century and in this sense financial literacy programs taught in schools contribute to the future life of young people. Such program as our can give the desired “practical and life” orientation to the learning process “. – Eg. “Increasing opportunities for the inclusion of young people in society and the labor market through the acquisition of knowledge and skills for financial literacy, as an important life skill of the 21st century in accordance to the White book on financial literacy in Bulgaria.

We have two major target groups planned to be involved in the main training activities of the project:
– To produce training materials (handbook and educative videos) and to train 100 disadvantaged youth (Roma, low skilled woman etc.) who have basic local language speaking  to increase their financial literacy knowledge, including building financial skills, behaviour and socialisation.
– To equip 50 youth trainers/youth workers with guidance material on inclusion of financial literacy training as part of curriculum

However, in the process of realisation of the project we will involve also:
– 10 school principals (2 per country)
– 10 pedagogical counsellors (2 per country)
Their role in the project will be to conduct monitoring of the process of realisation of the financial literacy training. In addition, the project activities will be supported also by representatives of educational supervisors (Employment Agency, Center for Inclusive Education, Center for Educational Integration of Children and Students from Ethnic Minorities, Regional Department of Education) local municipalities, social services, job centers – 10 representatives per country, who will provide added value to the realisation of the training and will facilitate potential transition to the labour integration upon graduation of the above mentioned youth.
