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.
