Financial Education Month – Collegio Carlo Alberto

Financial Education Month

In Italy October is the Financial Education Month, an initiative launched by the National Committee for the Planning and Coordination of Financial Education Activities to raise awareness about financial literacy and promote financial education.

Economic Financial Literacy and wealth management are core basic skills key to improve personal financial well-being and achieve a more responsible citizenship. Research has shown that mastering these set of skills is crucial to achieve a better standard of living; the importance of financial education programs, in particular those targeted to at-risk groups, is widely recognized by Governments and international organization. CeRP-Collegio Carlo Alberto, which has a long-run commitment towards financial education, contributes to the Financial Education Month organizing/participating in three online events:
