Youth Finance Academy

Preparing a generation of trainers and youth workers is a key component of the success of the Youth Finance Academy project and ensuring the sustainability of the program at the local and national level.

The staff TC will be continued by two eLearning and mentoring phases provided through the Monomyths Learning platform (3 weeks before and 3 after TC) to ensure deep processing of the material, while the residential training will provide hands-on experience, professional cooperation and personal guidance for youth workers. The cycle uses eLearning technology to optimize funds and minimize participants’ absence from their everyday work. 

Objectives of the mobility:

• To create a learning environment for 22 youth workers and future financial education trainers from 8 European organizations to become financially literate, understand the key-concepts and finance psychology, develop their core competencies, and feel confident managing their own finances.
• The TC is designed to make the participants confident and well-prepared to use the toolbox and the game during DEOR local workshops.
• To provide access to up-to-date resources and professional development opportunities to ensure the trainees  they can deliver high-quality interventions for YP/YE.
• To discover how to use gamification mechanics and digital financial education resources to implement accessible, flexible and engaging learning opportunities
• To explore practical ways to mentor, motivate and inform about financial resources the young people and young entrepreneurs
• To build a common understanding of the training approaches, contents, and tools used and ensure a very practical perspective to the training materials developed jointly.
