DF4Y – Digital Finance 4 Youth

Financial education is often only a marginal topic in schools. The consequence: Many young people, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, lack financial skills. This makes it difficult for them to make informed decisions about income, expenses, and other financial matters.

The Digital Finance 4 Youth (DF4Y) project aimed to counteract this. It was dedicated to developing digital learning resources to promote financial education among young people and to support those who work with them professionally or privately with materials and training. The combination of knowledge transfer and gamification created basic financial knowledge and thus facilitated social and economic integration. This enabled everyone to find their way around the professional and financial world more easily – and ultimately to have a job.
