Seventh Edition of Financial Education Month
The Seventh Edition of Financial Education Month kicks off on November 1st. The event is promoted by the Committee for the Planning and Coordination of Financial Education Activities (Edufin Committee). Associations, institutions, businesses, foundations, public administrations and any other organization that wants to implement initiatives in the field of financial education can apply from September 2nd to October 18th, 2024, using the appropriate online form available at www.quellocheconta.gov.it.
From this year, the most important Italian event related to financial education is moving to November.
To take into account the new location, events already scheduled for the month of October, such as those connected with World Investor Week (WIW) 2024 promoted by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), will also be allowed on the calendar.
As with previous editions, the Month will be an opportunity to promote, through events and initiatives throughout Italy, the development of financial, insurance and pension knowledge and skills and to draw attention to how important it is to acquire them at any age.
"Financial education: today for your tomorrow": this is the slogan chosen this year, which will accompany the event for future editions as well. The slogan represents an invitation to devote time to education on personal finance issues, not only to make more informed decisions, but also to cope with possible future contingencies.
The Month presents a great novelty this year: the establishment of the Financial Legality Day, promoted by the Edufin Committee and the Guardia di Finanza and sponsored by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, aimed especially at young people in schools.
Confirmed again this year are two important events as part of the Month: the Social Security Education Week, scheduled from November 18th to 24th, and the Insurance Education Day.
Seminars, webinars, educational workshops, and games - in-person and online - are scheduled from November 1st to 30th. All free and non-commercial initiatives that meet the requirements set by the Guidelines published on the portal www.quellocheconta.gov.it will be welcomed.
Membership will allow to use the official logo of the "Month" and to be included in the "Calendar of the Month" that can be consulted on the Edufin Committee website.
The Committee for the Planning and Coordination of Financial Education Activities is tasked with planning and promoting financial awareness and education initiatives to measurably improve savings, investment, retirement, and insurance skills.
The Committee, currently headed by Prof. Donato Masciandaro, is composed of: Ministry of Economy and Finance, Ministry of Education and Merit,
Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, Bank of Italy, Consob, Covip, Ivass, Ocf, National Council of Consumers and Users.
