Financial emancipation: the key to financial education and personal well-being


A week-long event on financial education

The week of financial education was held from March 18 to 24, 2024. On this occasion, the Government, in cooperation with the Banque de France, presented the Educfi passport. It consists of two hours of training followed by a test. During this module, students of the 4th grade, SEGPA, as well as preparatory students of the 3rd year, got acquainted with:

  • Budget management.
  • Prevention of over-indebtedness.
  • Cost planning and savings.
  • Protection against financial fraud.

Adults who want advice on managing their finances can turn to Younited and its personalized support program.
