BCR announces a new project as part of its financial education program Școala de Bani (Money School): a financial education course designed, for the first time, for parents. The course is free and includes 7 lessons, which address topics meant to help them contribute to the financial education of children, using practical examples, but also fun games and activity sheets, which children can use to learn about money.

“We start the year at Școala de Bani with a new online module for parents, because they are the ones who offer their children the first financial education lessons at home. And it’s important that they have a healthy foundation from the beginning. 2020 has been a year of adaptation and uncertainty, but that has not stopped us from carrying on a project we hold dear: improving Romanians’ relationship with money and providing them with the information they need to make smart financial choices. We rethought things, moved the workshops and courses online, tried to be as flexible as possible and we were happy to receive positive feedback from participants in these special conditions. We wanted to help people even from a distance to become more aware and more careful with personal finances and we intend to do this in 2021 as well”, says Nicoleta Deliu, coordinator of Școala de Bani.

The special financial education module for parents can be accessed free of charge on www.scoaladebani.ro, by creating an account or using a Facebook account.

Școala de Bani ended 2020 with over 33,000 graduates. As of March, all courses have been adapted and transferred online so that they can continue to be accessed from anywhere in the country, even in the context of the restrictions imposed by Covid-19. Educational workshops for children FLiP – Școala de Bani pe Roți were also transformed into virtual courses, attended by over 20,000 students and 1,200 teachers, in over 600 workshops. FLiP workshops were held in partnership with Școala de Valori.
