The Project
In Gianky We Trust is an Erasmus+ KA220-YOU Cooperation Partnership in the field of Youth, co-funded with a lump sum of €250,000. It focuses on improving Financial Education for Young People with Difficulties across Italy, Spain, Croatia and Slovenia.
Context
Young People with Difficulties often experience difficulties in understanding abstract financial concepts, navigating real-life financial decisions and accessing inclusive learning tools adapted to their cognitive profiles. At the same time, families, youth workers and educators frequently lack structured, accessible and practical resources to support them effectively. In Gianky We Trust addresses this gap by aligning with the EU Financial Competence Framework (2023), the EU Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021–2030 and the principles of inclusive education.
Specific Objectives
In Gianky We Trust pursues three strategic objectives to improve financial education and social inclusion for Young People with Difficulties across Europe.
SO1 – Improve Financial Knowledge
Develop adapted and accessible learning materials aligned with the way young people with difficulties learn, and train youth workers and families to use them effectively. Key outputs include a Comprehensive Didactic Concept, accessible educational materials, video tutorials and the Gianky App in English and partner languages.
SO2 – Improve Practical Financial Skills
Provide concrete learning tools and opportunities that allow young people with difficulties to practice real-life financial decision-making in safe environments. Key outputs include structured workshop formats in different settings, Parent-Child Engagement Days and an Educational Financial Education Board Game.
SO3 – Strengthen Social Inclusion
Build supportive communities where young people with difficulties can practice financial skills while developing social confidence and engagement. Key outputs include Gianky HUBs in each partner country, an Online Slack Community and VIBES-based training modules for facilitators.
