CONSAR has created a children’s tale about a comfort-loving cow that should learn how to better organise her resources.

Throughout the week, Banco de México and Museo Banco de México organised online and in-person workshops and a podcast for children to discover the relevance of the money, savings and budgeting in their daily lives and the importance to make informed decisions about it.

While, Bank of America in collaboration with Universidad Anáhuac prepared a workshop about a relationship each person has with money while providing some tools and tips to improve the decision-making process towards money.

As for the influencers, they took the social networks to organise live sessions, games and conferences to provide financial tools such as planning, budgeting and investing, aimed to foster wise decisions about money in the present and in the future. On the other hand, some decided to offer in-person workshops for students living in marginalised communities so they learn how to achieve financial independence.
