Throughout Global Money Week 2022, the Bank of Cape Verde, along with partners, reached out to children and youth in various communities through virtual activities, such as webinars and online contests focused on financial education and savings.

During GMW2022, financial education sessions were offered to children, youth and adults, mainly through digital media. The campaign programme also included school visits, webinars, workshops, lectures, conferences, financial competitions for college students, a financial cartoon contest, and other awareness raising events. Financial education workshops for university students were promoted in schools and universities throughout different communities. All these GMW events highlighted the importance of saving, managing money responsibly, improving skills and strengthening financial capacity to make wise money choices.

Throughout the Week, young people were able to participate in comic strip competitions promoted by Fin Academy and another competition launched by the Cape Verde Stock Exchange, in which the best works were awarded.
