MONEY MATTERS

Financial Literacy for Disadvantaged Families

The overall objective of the MONEY MATTERS project is to empower  families with the necessary financial skills to mitigate financial difficulties, produce new pedagogic practices and support family learning through new digital learning tools.

  • To develop  an accessible online platform to promote effective and innovative approaches for wider use across  the EU
