The future of financial education: Aiming for effectivity, sustainability, and inclusion

20 November 2023 | Mannheim · Germany

Financial education is on the rise and in many places it is receiving the attention it needs in view of the current challenges. But what does effective, sustainable, and inclusive financial education look like for all population groups? What content should be addressed, when, for whom and by whom? Which teaching-learning arrangements should be used? What educational policy and contextual conditions are needed? These and other questions on financial education of the future will be discussed at the 3rd MIFE Annual Conference on November 20, 2023 in Mannheim with high-ranking representatives from science, politics and practice.
