During Global Money Week 2021, the Dutch Platform Money Wise along with partners reached 500,000 children and youth through several digital activities as well as their online Studio. As part of the programme, financial literacy awareness sessions were offered to children and youth, mostly through digital means. These included various livestream programmes in a talk show setting, online lectures by financial experts, but also printed materials for classroom sessions. High-level educational talk shows were organised for various target audiences with the partners. Throughout the Week, until the summer, primary schools are able to request an online lecture by a financial expert. Furthermore, this year the Dutch Platform Money Wise celebrated the 10th edition of the Dutch Money Week with a special edition of Dagobert Duck for primary schools.
