Invest in YoUTH

Financial Literacy Meets Civic Participation Through Interactive Play

Aim

INVEST IN YOUTH develops a generation of young people who are both financially literate and civically engaged. The project connects day‑to‑day money choices with wider social responsibilities, so youth can manage their personal finances confidently and take an active role in their communities and Europe’s democratic life.

Objectives

  • Create an interactive board game that blends financial literacy with civic education—making learning about budgets, saving, taxes, voting, and public goods fun, accessible, and memorable.

  • Link finance to society by helping young people understand how personal financial behaviours (e.g., saving, borrowing, spending, paying taxes) shape their communities and the common good.

  • Cultivate youth leadership by building the skills and confidence to make informed economic decisions and contribute to civic processes.

  • Equip youth workers and educators with ready‑to‑use resources: facilitator training, lesson plans, and clear instructions for integrating the game into programs.

  • Publish a concise guide for youth workers (10 pages; EN, DE, PT, IT) to communicate how financial education drives social cohesion and responsible citizenship.

  • Train youth workers to use both the board game and the guide effectively.

  • Pilot locally with diverse groups of youth to test, refine, and validate the tools.

  • Evaluate impact with a robust plan measuring changes in financial literacy, civic understanding, and active participation.
