November is the month of financial education, the ninth edition is underway

The ninth edition of Financial Education Month kicks off today, the event promoted by the Committee for the planning and coordination of financial education activities (Edufin Committee), which from 1st to 30th November will bring hundreds of free initiatives throughout Italy dedicated to the dissemination of financial, insurance and social security culture.

Hundreds of free initiatives are planned, in person and online, aimed at citizens and families to better manage their money, plan for the future and make more informed economic choices.

The campaign promotes the message "Financial education: today for your tomorrow", an invitation to invest in your knowledge to face daily economic decisions with greater confidence, prepare for unexpected events and plan your future with adequate tools and greater autonomy.

During the month, citizens of all ages will be able to participate free of charge in seminars, webinars, workshops, information meetings, educational games, cultural initiatives and training activities organized by institutions, schools, universities, associations, businesses and third sector organisations.

The calendar of events, available on the Edufin Committee website, offers opportunities for in-depth analysis on the topics of savings, investments, digital payments, fraud prevention, social security and insurance. Particular attention is paid to the most vulnerable categories, including women, low-income families, migrants and people with disabilities. A specific focus will also be dedicated to young people and the world of school, also in light of the increasingly important role that financial, insurance and social security education plays in the context of civic education.

The Committee is currently chaired by Donato Masciandaro and is made up of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Ministry of Education and Merit, Ministry of Business and Made in Italy, Ministry of Labor and Social Policies, Guardia di Finanza, Bank of Italy, Consob, Covip, Ivass, OCF and the National Council of Consumers and Users.
