In Italy, Global Money Week was coordinated, for the first time at the national level, by the Committee on Financial Education and in particular by the team in charge of financial education for youth, led by the Bank of Italy (Banca d'Italia). 40 partners proposed activities and joined for the first time the Global Money Week Campaign.

Digital activities such as webinars mainly for high school and university students, online classes and games for younger students reached more than 6,900 children and youngsters. Approximately 1,900 adults, teachers and parents participated in the Week. Due to the media, newspaper articles and websites, the number of people involved in GMW2021 is estimated to be 30,000.

In line with the GMW2021 theme, “Take care of your money, take care of yourself” most events had a special focus on financial resilience, providing students and their families with advise on how to manage their finances during the crisis. The importance of saving and financial planning was the fil rouge of many activities.

Due to the pandemic, more people have started using computers, tablets and smartphones. Therefore, many partners offered digital workshops for young students to explain basic concepts of cybersecurity and raise awareness on how to protect their online transactions, especially payments. The use of gamification and challenges among students helped to explain difficult issues effectively, engaging students in stimulating activities and raising their curiosity. University students were involved in webinars on risks and protection tools for digital investors. GameStop was used in several webinars organised by universities as a case study to explain financial markets price fluctuations, the role of social media, the risk-reward relationship, and the risks related to the use of customers data.

Saving and investing decisions were at the centre focus for activities targeting university students and adults. A few webinars were devoted to explaining how financial behaviour might be affected by individual bias and how this bias can affect market functioning.

GMW2021 was also an opportunity to illustrate financial education projects for schools. Many GMW partners proposed videos or web tutorials to be used directly by the students or teachers to learn the basic of most financial decision-making. Online financial education classes were also organised in several schools during the GMW.

In relation to becoming sustainable citizens, "Let’s save the Planet" lessons for primary schools were organised by Feduf, the Foundation Barilla Center for Food and Nutrition and Banca Popolare di Bergamo. Educational insights on sustainable development and the economy, on the planet's resources and on the words of sustainability: reuse, recycle and reduction, were given during the session along with a focus on nutrition patterns that protect health and the environment, domestic consumption, food waste and the equivalent waste of money. Several other lessons were organised as well:

Starting from their own inclinations, students discovered how to plan and manage a budget and how to evaluate a job opportunity.
  • “Ready, Steady... Work!” for II degree secondary school students was organised by INPS and Itinerari Previdenziali. Educational insights was provided on issuing the curriculum vitae, the safety of a clear work contract, the contribution, the basic pension, the choice between employees and self-employers, how to start a start-up, what is VAT as well as what is and why supplementary pension is important.

The Bank of Italy organised a financial education event within Global Money Week on 17 March en titled “I save today, I choose tomorrow.” A total of 138 students and 19 teachers from six middle schools in the Rome area attended the initiative.

The event started with a brief presentation of the importance of Financial Education and themes such as saving money and having a mindful approach when spending it, both on personal and Governmental side. Useful examples such as the Marshmallow Test and the Italian tale Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi were used to deliver the message to the students. After the presentation, a short speech to greet the students by the Bank of Italy’s Governor, Mr. Ignazio Visco, focused on the importance of being able to carefully manage money, especially in the light of the current financial conjuncture. Things became very hectic after the Governor’s speech, when the young students were called to play a famous Italian card game. The classes battled each other to win as many cards as possible, by answering questions regarding the presentation previously delivered and their financial competence. Monetary prizes were awarded to three of the six schools. The school with the best score was also awarded a chance to visit the banknote printing facilities of the Bank of Italy.

La Fondazione per l’educazione finanziaria e al risparmio (Italian Education Foundation) also organised a series of events dedicated to Global Money Week. Most of the events consisted of lessons for junior high school students, primary school students and high school students.

The lesson Saving the Planet (Saving the Planet is a school programme acknowledged by the EXPO School Commitee) focused on development and sustainable economy. Students have been encouraged to think about the necessity to adopt responsible behaviours in order to save social, economic, environmental and food resources. Money and Tales was held for primary-level school children. Activities for children aimed at educating to saving and economics through fables and storytelling. They had the opportunity to visit the Children Museum of Rome and playing “Economiamo “ a fun “grown-up” experience: children have to work to earn, spend for their needs and amusement, pay taxes and, if they wished, donate a part of their savings to charity.

For the older students, the lessons instead focused on Legality and Economics, Revenue at school or Currency and money. The two lessons focused on legality and economics through concrete examples of everyday life to show the importance of loyal economic behaviours for individual and social well-being. Students have been encouraged to think about their role as citizens and about rights and duties they have which also affect the economic citizenship. The currency and money lessons allowed students to become familiar with the payment instruments they deal with every day. An introduction about the Euro currency has been followed by in-depth examination about bank accounts, payment cards and new payment technologies. The revenue at school lessons covered the basics of civil life in order to teach children the importance of respecting rules, even the fiscal ones, for community well-being. Principles of the Italian Republic Constitution have been explained as well as the Italian tax system rules.

Children in Italy were invited to join in on a game of The Challenge of Cincilli. This interactive educational performance required the children (aged 5-8) to help 5 squirrels cross a forest full of trials and temptations with only 5 cincilli (coins). Through entertainment these children and youth were taught about the importance of being money conscious.

Econosofia was a finance-themed performance that was centered around the impact which our consumer culture has had on the children’s lives. The play gave the children a chance to think about how times have changed through the feelings, hopes and collective fears of a country that is dependent on consuming. These thoughts were expressed through the dialogue between 3 characters Aldo, Barbara and Charlie.
