Our project is based on learning and using financial literacy and increasing their motivation to learn about real life in other European countries in the context of future job choices. It is very important to equip students with knowledge and skills that will be crucial for further education and job search in the future, not only in their own country but also abroad. We need our students to see how teenagers live in different countries, and we would like to achieve this by finding a solution together to promote a stronger European Union. Our specific objectives are: • to prepare young people for effective participation in economic society, • to learn how technological tools and spaces provide creative opportunities for business activities, social interaction, where and how to earn, spend and save money wisely, • to make decisions with economic significance in modern and future European societies, • to provide young students with a background in the application of critical skills such as numeracy, computer literacy and critical thinking. • to help young students understand concepts of money that are considered age-appropriate, • to improve their understanding of financial concepts and products, and to build financial skills and com
We applied for this project because we believed that, in line with the current strategies of the Republic of Croatia and the EU, financial literacy is one of the key topics. As a secondary school that educates students to acquire competences for the profession of economists, and based on previous research conducted on the level of financial literacy in the Republic of Croatia, it has been proven that students of economics schools have greater knowledge on this topic than the average citizen of the Republic of Croatia. We believed that this was an excellent basis for educating peers in the country and other EU member states. Also, with this project, we wanted to reward the most successful students for participating in various activities in European cities so that they would have the opportunity to develop their language and social competences, but also to get acquainted with different cultures within Europe. Participation in Erasmus projects regularly results in meeting friends, gaining new experiences and developing long-term relationships with partners. We hope that in the future we will have the opportunity to participate in more projects and enrich our knowledge about Europe and the various topics that represent its essence.
