Project number: 2024-1-DK01-KA220-YOU-000248201
Implementation period: 1.11.2024-31.10.2026
Assistance program: Erasmus+
Project description
The project aims to address the growing need for improved financial literacy among youth, who increasingly face financial decisions early in life, such as managing contracts, bank accounts, and part-time earnings. This critical phase, particularly during transitions to secondary or tertiary education, underscores the importance of equipping young Europeans with the skills to make informed financial choices. By developing an engaging Gamified Digital Graphic Novel (GDGN), the project will provide accessible, interactive tools to bridge gaps in financial knowledge and support young people’s successful transition to adulthood.
Acknowledging disparities in financial literacy across partner countries, the project will complement informal education with gamified learning, leveraging video game design and storytelling to make financial concepts engaging and effective. It will directly support young people, students, and refugees while also empowering educators, parents, and community organizations to enhance financial education. The project aims to help individuals and communities develop financial literacy as an essential life skill, enabling them to better navigate financial challenges and build a more stable future.
