About the Program
Today, financial decisions are becoming increasingly complex, while digital technology is rapidly transforming the way we manage our money. The “Youth’s Financial Literacy” program aims to equip secondary school students across Greece, particularly in regional areas, with the knowledge and skills needed to become financially literate.
Program Objectives
Through their participation, students will:
Understand basic and more advanced financial concepts, and how they apply to everyday life.
Develop practical money management skills tailored to their age group and real-life needs.
Become familiar with the principles of the digital economy and learn to use digital financial tools effectively.
Build responsible spending and saving habits, enhancing their ability to make informed financial decisions in adulthood.
Student Benefits
During the 2025-26 school year, 2,500 secondary school students took part in specialized trainings, live group sessions with financial sector professionals, and non-formal learning activities, all designed to help them develop skills for financial autonomy.
Through this hands-on, experiential learning approach, students were introduced to key economic principles and gained insights into how factors such as inflation and interest rates shape their financial decision-making, as early as in adolescence. The program also helped in the development of critical thinking and sound money management skills, giving students the tools to develop healthy financial habits for the future.
Specifically:
- 87,1% of students said they feel better informed about key financial terms, such as budgeting, saving, and interest rates,
- 87,6% said they feel better informed about the importance of saving and its value for the future,
- 87,1% reported that they now know what to watch out for during online transactions, laying the groundwork for the safe use of e-banking tools.
“Youth’s Financial Literacy” continues into the 2026-27 school year enabling 2.500 more students to participate!
