The 3F project aimed to empower young migrant and refugee women via focused financial-literacy work. First, it designed and piloted an intuitive online course that turned key topics—budgeting, saving, digital payments, consumer rights—into short, multilingual modules and hands-on tasks, letting low-skilled learners study at their own pace and gain usable skills. Second, it equipped youth workers with a Financial Literacy Inclusion Toolkit packed with workshop plans, peer-learning games and mentoring guides so they could replicate training locally and open fair-access pathways to jobs, childcare, housing and entrepreneurship. Third, it built a strong dissemination wave: results were showcased to municipalities, banks, NGOs and EU decision-makers through policy briefs, webinars and pilot events, urging them to weave gender-sensitive financial education into mainstream integration measures. By meeting these objectives, the project created sustainable resources, trained multipliers and demonstrated policy value. 3F reduced disparities and fostered inclusion.

The project unfolded through four coordinated work-packages. WP1 covered overall management, anchored by four transnational partner meetings—kick-off in Spain, intermediates in Germany and Romania, and a closing session in Bulgaria—safeguarding governance, timing and quality. WP2 built the learning offer: partners defined the target financial-literacy outcomes (A2.1), drafted the pedagogical framework (A2.2), produced the multilingual online course (A2.3) and created a dedicated e-platform to host it (A2.4). WP3 tested and refined these materials: after selecting and preparing young migrant and refugee women (A3.1), we piloted the course during a mobility week in Bulgaria (A3.2), analysed feedback, upgraded content (A3.3) and compiled the Financial Literacy Inclusion Toolkit (A3.4). WP4 disseminated results: we launched the project website and visual identity (A4.1), organised local promotional and networking events (A4.2), drafted evidence-based policy recommendations (A4.3) and staged four national final conferences—Bulgaria, Germany, Romania and Spain (A4.4–A4.7)—to embed impact among youth workers, NGOs, authorities and the wider public.

3F delivered a full suite of tangible outputs that advanced financial inclusion for young migrant and refugee women. First, the partnership produced a Learning Outcomes Report that mapped the exact knowledge, skills and competences required for every unit of the course. Building on those findings, we created a multilingual, self-paced online training programme composed of thematic modules, quizzes, all hosted on a dedicated, user-friendly platform. The course was tested during a pilot mobility in Bulgaria, where selected learners validated content and methodology; their feedback guided a thorough revision. To enable youth workers to replicate and adapt the approach, we compiled a Financial Literacy Inclusion Toolkit containing non-formal methods, game-based exercises and ready-to-use session plans. Finally, we drafted evidence-based policy recommendations that demonstrate the potential of financial-literacy youth education to drive integration and call on decision makers at every level to support similar actions. These concrete results directly served Erasmus+ priorities on inclusion, entrepreneurship and employability.
