FINLICO - useful financial literacy tools
Learning4Life
is currently working hard to develop a creative methodology for
financial literacy for adults. Following the the analysis of the
materials, products, books and other documents available on the Czech
market, we have chosen to use a slightly different approach. All
educational materials build on real-life stories and videos. These
will be accompanied by games, posters and other smaller products to
enable learners to absorb important information about managing their
funds day after day and in small amounts.
We explored a range of available materials and asked tens of experts and potential financial literacy course participants.
Most of them told us that they didn't know about any materials available to the general public; they didn't search for such materials and nobody had ever offered such materials to them.
Those respondents who had an overview of available financial literacy materials were not satisfied with their form. Most financial literacy handbooks are books, manuals, handbooks etc. In other words, they include hundreds of pages of text, text, ...and text.
At L4L, we have purchased and explored all of these materials and we salute the authors. All of these handbooks are useful, clever, practical, and packed with information. But ...they are also tremendously boring. Our challenge for the upcoming year is to change this situation and to create materials that will be practical, creative and fun for all those who want to learn something.
There will be no highly specialised books: most people will never open them anyway.
There will be no hundreds of pages of text.
Anybody willing to improve their knowledge of the world of money will be able to incorporate our novel materials into real life and everyday activities
