The Economic World

According to The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), financial literacy is a core life skill for children growing up in an increasingly complex world. National surveys show that young adults have amongst the lowest levels of financial literacy with only one in four able to make the most basic financial decisions. Young adults need to develop financial skills to help choose between different career and education options and take charge of their own financial futures. This project invites you to: Assume the role of a financial expert and teacher Create learning materials to increase financial literacy among young adults (14-18 year olds) of your country As you design these learning materials, you can choose to focus on one particular topic such as budgeting, saving, investment planning (including stocks and bonds), managing education loans etc. The final output of your project can take the form of a lesson plan, textbook chapter, board game or video that helps people master your chosen topic of financial literacy. The best submissions will be the ones that make financial literacy fun and accessible for young adults.
