Our project, “Empowering Youth through Financial Literacy,” was designed to respond to the growing need for young people to develop practical financial knowledge, responsible decision-making skills and greater confidence in managing their economic lives. Inflation, digital banking, cashless payments and changing labour markets have made financial literacy an essential life competence. However, many young people still enter adulthood without sufficient preparation in budgeting, saving, responsible spending, borrowing, investment, financial planning or the safe use of digital financial services. This gap can affect their well-being, independence and employability. The overall objective of the project was to empower young people with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours required to make informed and responsible financial decisions in their daily lives. The project aimed to improve their understanding of the history and function of money, inflation, purchasing power, mandatory and discretionary expenses, budgeting, saving, credit use, investment, portfolio management and financial sustainability. It also sought to help participants recognise financial risks, compare alternatives, plan for short- and long-term goals and understand the consequences of their financial choices. A further objective was to strengthen digital financial literacy. As financial services are increasingly accessed through mobile applications, online platforms and electronic payment systems, young people need to use these tools safely and critically. The project therefore aimed to raise awareness of digital banking, cybersecurity, fraud prevention and responsible use of financial technologies. By connecting financial knowledge with digital competence, the project intended to prepare participants for modern economic life. The project also aimed to link financial literacy with employability, entrepreneurship and active citizenship. Through practical exercises, realistic scenarios, budget-planning tasks, group work, simulations and problem-solving activities, participants were encouraged to improve their initiative, creativity, critical thinking and decision-making. They were also expected to strengthen transversal competences such as communication, teamwork, leadership, presentation skills, English language use and intercultural cooperation. These skills are important for education, employment and social participation. Another central objective was to promote intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding among young people from Türkiye, Georgia, Kosovo, Poland and Ukraine. The project created a common learning space where participants could compare financial habits, discuss different approaches to saving and spending, exchange experiences and learn from one another. By working in multinational groups, participants were expected to challenge stereotypes, appreciate cultural diversity, build trust and develop a stronger sense of solidarity and European cooperation. The project was based on non-formal and experiential learning. Participants were actively involved through workshops, peer learning, discussions, case studies, simulations, reflection sessions, intercultural activities and group presentations. This learner-centred approach was intended to make financial concepts easier to understand, more memorable and more relevant to everyday life. It also gave young people space to express their views and contribute to the learning process. The project supported the Erasmus+ priorities of inclusion and diversity, digital transformation and participation. It aimed to create an inclusive environment in which young people from different backgrounds could participate equally and feel respected. It promoted the safe use of digital tools and encouraged young people to take responsibility for their futures and communities. The project also contributed to European Youth Goals related to quality learning, employment, inclusion and youth participation. By combining financial education with intercultural learning and active participation, it sought to help young people become more confident, resilient and better prepared for personal, social and professional challenges. It also aimed to strengthen European identity, mutual respect and cooperation across borders. Finally, the project aimed to create an impact beyond the mobility period. Participants were expected to transfer their learning to peers, families, educational institutions and local communities through presentations, workshops, digital content and informal knowledge sharing. At organisational level, the project aimed to strengthen cooperation among the partner institutions, improve their capacity to deliver high-quality youth activities and create a basis for future Erasmus+ collaboration. Ultimately, it sought to support young people who are financially informed, digitally aware, socially responsible and able to make confident decisions throughout their lives.
