LET’S SCORE A TRY! Take care of your money
New edition
Not a traditional economics course with lectures, but an edutainment initiative focused on interaction and learning by doing—an approach that characterizes all the activities of the Museum of Saving.
“LET’S SCORE A TRY! Take care of your money” is a training program designed to equip youngsters and adults with the essential skills needed to make informed and rational financial decisions, helping them achieve economic peace of mind and well-being for themselves and their families.
The program uses metaphors and references from the world of sports, since the mindset and skills needed to cultivate physical and mental well-being are in many ways similar to those required for financial well-being.
The program consists of 10 one-hour online sessions.
Each session includes both theoretical content and interactive activities. Participants will watch videos produced by the Museum of Saving and take part in quizzes, tests, polls, and multimedia games, all enriched by meaningful references to sports.
