The project “Money Matters” project has produced new pedagogical practices that have impacted the provision in adult education to support family learning through new digital learning tools.
After EU member states had almost recovered from the previous financial crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic brought the prospect of an economic slowdown.
While external causes are among the main causes of the precarious situation some households find themselves in, many people lack the key financial literacy skills that can help improve their circumstances. As a result, they are unable to circumvent uncertainty and mitigate the impact of financial hardship.
The Money Matters consortium aims to answer to the lack of key financial literacy skills and to empower marginalised and disadvantaged families by providing them with tools to improve their financial literacy skills.
The project developed:
A CPD programme for adult educators, practitioners and relevant stakeholders, through a training methodology that can be customised and contextualised to local needs.
An accessible online platform to promote and disseminate the effective and innovative approaches to teaching financial literacy and family learning for wider use across the EU. The aim of the resources.
The aim of the resources created is also to provide financial literacy tools that enable trainers to include within their teaching with families to ensure that family learning opportunities are sensitive to the current needs, challenges and opportunities of the target group. And furthermore, to increase the capacity of trainers to develop and include in their teaching participatory and family-orientated approaches.
