The Museum of Saving presents the Report on the initiatives and projects promoted from September 2023 to June 2024
In 2024, the importance of financial education was officially recognized with the approval of the Capital Bill, known as Bill no. 674-Bd, by the Senate of the Italian Republic. Article 25 of this law mandates the introduction of financial education into school curricula.
At the Museum of Saving, we continuously strive to make our efforts to spread financial knowledge to diverse audiences more effective. Over the past year, we have explored new contaminations with disciplines and languages that are apparently distant from economics and finance, yet capable of attracting the attention of children, teenagers and adults by conveying complex concepts in a creative and engaging way.
From September 2023 to June 2024, our dissemination and training activities reached a total of 65,000 users, including 54,700 students from primary and secondary schools and 10,300 adults, involved through events, dedicated dissemination/training initiatives and educational visits. These activities encompassed over 600 interventions and more than 1,000 hours of training provided to the public.
In particular, our outreach activities have intensified compared to the previous year, reaching, through the 101 digital and/or in-person events (53 for the adult public and 48 for children and teenagers), over 41,000 people, including 38,200 students.
New initiatives include the new interactive exhibit “Admire”, a physical and virtual space that conveys economic concepts through some famous moving works of art, “The Climb”, the first escape room focused on financial themes, and the book “A pinch of economy” by Giovanna Paladino and Luciano Canova, which explains economic principles through the metaphor of cooking.
Contamination also concerns new audiences: thanks to the FLITIN network, we have reached several thousand students beyond national borders with the Museum’s educational formats. Furthermore, in terms of accessibility, the Museum has worked to prepare content and guided tours accessible to users with hearing and visual disabilities.
Numerous initiatives have been launched to promote women’s economic empowerment, in line with the goal of promoting gender equality and improving economic opportunities for women.
The connections between sport, physical well-being and financial well-being have inspired the creation of events and educational programs such as the adult training cycles “Let’s score a try” and “Warm up your muscles“, which use sports metaphors to explain financial education concepts.
The opening to new horizons pushes us to develop an innovative approach to spreading financial literacy, one that emphasizes creativity and values diversity.
