Dear Partners and Supports of Global Money Week, From humble beginnings, born from the experiences of Aflatoun International, Global Money Week (GMW) is now reaching more people, in more countries, than ever before. The 7th Edition of Global Money Week bought together 151 countries and overseas territories from across the globe. Fifteen countries joined the campaign for the first time highlighting the growing interest in the Child and Youth Finance Movement and an increasing diversity amongst the participants, and is a testimony to the power of collaborative systems change. This year, thousands organizations at local, national and international levels invested time and resources to make Global Money Week a success. In addition to this, CYFI partners from around the world, including H.M. Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, the African Union Commission, the OECD, have again offered their support. All these organizations have a shared commitment to strive for a world where children and youth truly become the agents of their own change - agents that are knowledgeable about their choices, empowered to act and perhaps most importantly, live in a place where they are recognized as such. In the future we envision more government organizations taking the lead in GMW activities, creating a catalyst of change in favor of financial literacy and economic citizenship. The Global Money Week theme, ‘Money Matters Matter,’ has also propelled a broad and varied approach to money topics. In addition to learning about ‘typical’ money matters, children and youth have been exposed to topics of entrepreneurship, fintech and cryptocurrencies. This highlights the continued need for campaigns like Global Money Week as the next generation adapt to technological advances and changes in financial behavior. From the scale of the events this year, it is clear there is a continued need to raise awareness of money matters and Global Money Week serves as a means for CYFI’s collaborative systems change approach to bring meaningful and impactful results for young people around the world. To all GMW participants, we are immensely honored to have you celebrate with us and we look forward to your continued participation in future GMW campaigns. All the events listed in this report are the result of your hard work and support for Global Money Week. On behalf of the Global Money Week Team, thank you!

In Asia, Africa and South America, bank branches opened their doors to children and youth providing the opportunity to open bank accounts, explore financial products and participate in banking seminars. Across the

Financial education plays an irrefutable role in improving economic security. Building a financially secure generation requires us to act today and to improve financial literacy amongst the youth to prevent a void in financial understanding – one lesson, one bank account at a time. From implementing a country-wide compulsory financial education program to inviting government representatives to speak on the importance of financial education people have united across the world to support the campaign for financial education. More than 1000 lessons and workshops took place, showing us that we can take simple steps towards a better future for all.

Organizations committed to improving livelihoods for youth, raised their voice through social media to share what money matters matter to them and promote the benefits of financial security. With each post, each radio broadcast and each television interview, Global Money Week 2018 has bought us a step closer to financial inclusion for all. Through commitment and collaboration, governments and communities are in a better position to create sustainable livelihoods, develop financially secure households and meet global development goals. Global Money Week empowers every individual to start making a change in the right direction; towards the secure financial future that our children deserve.

As global development advances and industry changes, organizations and institutions at local and regional levels used Global Money Week 2018 to create awareness on how our individual actions and choices contribute to both the personal finance and the national economy. … Promoting sustainable, productive livelihoods is one of the cornerstones of creating an economically secure future.

During the event, the museum’s educational program sought to focus on both the economic role of coins and their ideological significance and contribution to knowledge of social and historical processes.

Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation The educational program, “Priceless: Coins and Other Values,” addressed students aged 13-15 and aimed to expand the concept of value in the sense of both monetary worth and principle by introducing children to the Numismatic Collection of the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation. The project took place in the premises of the Museum of the History of Cypriot Coinage and included multiple museum education activities. Students were able to examine ancient and contemporary coins and to familiarize themselves with many different kinds of values, the manner in which value is determined, and its relation to social, economic, and political structures. The program was specifically structured to have the students embark from contemporary reality, become intrigued, and investigate everyday issues pertaining to the value attached to objects and situations and, more specifically, the relation of coins and money to value. One of the program’s innovations is the introduction of the use of digital interactive technologies, employed to demonstrate various monetary concepts including: (a) the conditions wherein ancient coins were produced; (b) the complexity and dynamic character of their iconography; (c) their multiple functions; and (d) the composite social processes through which coins are factored in the construction of collective identities.

Interactive games and quiz sessions were held in many places. This year the EFPA CZ also organized an online financial education tournament for schools focusing on family life cycle, family budget planning, and investing during individual stages of life. Their main focus was to engage parents as well as their children by organizing workshops, discussions, and games for both. Furthermore, EFPA CZ organized an event in a shopping center involving youtubers to attract young people. A very popular event was a workshop on the development of financial literacy and entrepreneurship in which participants played interactive games simulating life situations. Many schools valued an interactive entertainment exposition “The Circle on Money” which was opened for several months, including during GMW. To close the activities of the GMW, the national coordinators organized a professional conference, on the premises of the Czech National Bank, under the supervision of the respective authorities, which focused on the revision of the National Strategy of Financial Education. During this event, corporations presented their long-term projects on financial education for children and their experience with such projects. The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance shared their views on several key points, including the issue of potential conflicts of interest while promoting financial literacy. EFPA

CZ used the social media campaigns, the public events in libraries and commercial shopping centres, as well as the engagement of schools to enhance public awareness about the GMW activities and financial literacy of children and youth in general. The ongoing topic for the Czech Republic remains the engagement of parents during the learning process of their children because the family environment and behavioural patterns of parents are paramount to improving financial behaviour of their children. Tomáš Nidetzký, a member of the Board of the Czech National Bank, in his opening speech at the GMW conference stressed the need for transparency of products and services on the financial market.

The priorities of the MF included the prevention of over-indebtedness, the importance of the availability of necessary information for the clients’ decision-making, the need for planning, and the need for retirement provision. Jana Merunková, the director of a public beneficiary company, stated that parents perceive their own knowledge of financial literacy as inadequate and would therefore welcome the emergence of comprehensible, simple concepts. At the same time, they would like financial literacy to be taught at schools as a separate subject. Marta Gellová, co-founder and the president of EFPA Czech Republic stressed the importance of an engagement with personal finances as well as, the ability to handle and respond to unexpected life situations. Parents create models for their children, therefore, financial education must always start right with them.

In addition, children learned how to buy and sell shares, how companies qualify to be listed, and how to earn profits through trading. JAZ, together with its partners, organized financial literacy workshops in schools. The workshops covered saving, budgeting, spending, 4 P’s (i.e. pocket, priority, price and planet), and investments. The emphasis was placed on promoting financial

education and good financial habits. Some students had the opportunity to visit the Barclays Bank Exhibition at the Art Gallery, giving an insight in the history of the Bank. Following the tour, Barclays’ staff members spoke to the students on topics such as financial literacy and the value of the bank in Zimbabwe. During the talk, students learned about why money came to existence and the importance of money. Global Foundation of Public Speaking Celebrations were organized by the Global Foundation of Public Speaking and the Yananiso Trust’s financial literacy project, Fortune Foundation. Five schools attended the Quiz Tournament, sponsored by Speak Training Consultants. The participants were split into three groups depending on their age. Contestants were quizzed on 12 categories, including financial literacy. In addition, the Foundation, in collaboration with CABS Bank, hosted a Global Money Week Debate Tournament. Ten schools sent three teams each to attend the tournament. The themes of the tournament were based on GMW topics such as saving, budgeting, and investing. Finally, the Fortune Foundation announced the winners of its essaywriting competition, sponsored by Lion Microfinance. The competition was open to all students across the country. Cultiv8 Africa During Global Money Week 2018, Cultiv8 Africa organized a financial literacy seminar in Harare. The seminar included presentations on topics such as “Financial Literacy as a Skill”, “Saving Your Way to Success” and “Cryptocurrency in the 21st Century”. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe was the guest of honor and shed light on its National Financial Inclusion Strategy.
