Greening Financial Literacy

Objectives Among European youth, there is a low level of financial literacy and, above all, a lack of understanding of the links between financial systems, sustainability and the climate crisis. The project therefore aims to create capacities for non-formal education and activating educational methods for youth on the topic of green financial literacy (GFL) for the first time. Civil society actors are thus given the opportunity to raise the level of GFL in Europe in cooperation with youth. Activities First, organizations from the fields of youth, environmental protection & financial investment share their expertise & concept non-formal education formats. Next, a workshop is developed & youth is trained to hold and test it for its peers. Also methods, to encourage young people to engage for a raising the level of GFL, are developed with & evaluated & therefore implemented by young people. Finally all created expertise & experience is written down, published & actively disseminated in Europe. Impact The project generates new expertise & innovative educational offers on GFL & implements them on a smaller scale. Thus, the project creates urgently needed & previously non-existent capacities in the youth sector. Through the proactive dissemination of experiences, methods & concepts, this expertise becomes usable across Europe. To strengthen this effect, the foundation for further networking to GFL is also laid. Thus, the project lays the foundation for increasing the GFL of European youth.
