About this exchange

Invest in Youth: Financial Literacy Meets Civic Participation Through Interactive Play is an Erasmus+ KA210 small-scale partnership (project number 2024-3-DE04-KA210-YOU-000292304) coordinated by Highlights e.V. with Informamentis Europa (Italy) and EduMansha (Portugal). The project period runs from May 2025 to September 2026.

The project aims to foster financial literacy and civic engagement among young people by creating an interactive board game and a practical guide that connect personal finance with active citizenship. Planned work includes tool development, an international training in Italy, local pilot workshops in Germany, Portugal, and Italy, and dissemination through multiplier events and freely accessible online resources.
