Our project aims to prevent young people from low socio-economic backgrounds from falling into excessive debt and the world of online gambling. Traditionally, due to their personal circumstances, these groups have encountered access obstacles or have less training/educational opportunities, that is why we want to offer them the opportunity to improve their financial literacy, which is crucial to avoid increasing their financial fragility and to improve their well-being.

We will be implementing 18 workshops using an innovative methodology based on gamification to increase the financial literacy of youngsters aged 18-30 from low socio-economic contexts. These workshops will be complemented with an online environment in which youngsters will be able to learn how to invest, budget and save money through real-world simulation scenarios but without the risk of doing so in the real world. To increase their awareness on such risks we will create TikToks in 5 languages.

Innovative approach to address youngsters on financial literacy programmes in line with their needs (focus on online gambling and micro transactions) using both participatory approaches and digital methodologies (through a gamified environment that will complement the offline sessions). These materials will follow the Framework of Financial Competences of the European Commission as well as the code of good practice for financial education initiatives from Finanzas Para Todos.
