Primary school students had the opportunity to follow the adventures of “Arco and Iris in South America” (see here), as part of the collaboration between the Hellenic Financial Literacy Institute from Greece and the Museum of Saving from Italy, a project realized especially for GMW2022. Hence, more students are now able to download the fairy tale in Greek, either from the Hellenic Financial Literacy Institute’s website or from the Museum’s website.

During GMW2022, financial literacy awareness sessions were offered both to children and adults, mostly through digital means. This included webinar sessions for parents and teachers of primary school students.

Throughout GMW2022, young people were able to engage in the presentation of the book “The Alphabet of Economy for children up to 12 years old” in Greek. The book was presented at the Museum of the Bank of Greece, and was published under the auspices of the Bank of Greece here.

Furthermore, this year, the March 2022 issue of “ViSION”, the quarterly informational magazine published by European Reliance General Insurance Company S.A. was dedicated to financial literacy, and was made available through its collaboration with the Hellenic Financial Literacy Institute here. The online magazine has more than 90.000 registered subscribers that had the opportunity to access this online financial education material.
