Online Workshop on Well-being Determinants
Are young people really prepared to navigate today’s financial traps? Financial literacy is closely linked to unemployment, education, geographical displacement and overall wellbeing.
Join our YOU CONNECT online workshop to explore the growing financial literacy challenges facing vulnerable youth. The session will present insights from the Czech Republic and compare them with OECD data and experiences from other countries. Participants will learn how Czechia is addressing this issue and how to recognize some of the unfair financial tactics that affect many of us today.
The workshop will also include time for discussion, giving participants the opportunity to share their questions and experiences.
