Global Money Week
13/03/2023 - 17/03/2023 (Other events)
Bank of Greece
The Bank of Greece participated in Global Money Week 2023 by organising actions in its Museum; moreover, as national coordinator, it contacted other agencies with a view to informing and mobilising them to participate in this year’s financial education campaign of the OECD.
Activities for secondary education students
The Museum of the Bank of Greece designed and implemented an interactive programme targeting secondary education students.
Students participated in a specially designed programme on this year’s campaign theme “Plan your Money, plant your future”, which focuses on the interaction of climate change with the economy, sustainability and raising awareness on the implications of individual financial behaviour not only on one’s financial future, but also on the environment and the society.
The programme was organised around three strands:
-CLIMATE CHANGE: information and awareness-raising through the exhibits of the Museum’s temporary exhibition (GMW slogan: Learn!)
-SAVE YOUR MONEY, saving earth: green saving (GMW slogan: Save!)
-EARN YOUR MONEY, saving earth: green employment and professions of the future (GMW slogan: Earn!).
The programme, which targeted students, had a duration of one (1) hour and was so designed as to be implemented either through on-site visit of the temporary exhibition, or outside of the Museum, on the basis of a detailed narrative with a complete set of instructions that was delivered to teachers, who would in turn explain the programme to students (e.g. inside the school).

The programme was attended by more than 300 students from six schools and one vocational training institute.
Coaching of secondary education teachers
As part of the aforementioned action, the Museum of the Bank of Greece received on Thursday, 2 March 2023, a group of secondary education teachers, who were coached to present the action at their schools.
Communication with agencies
In order to maximise the effectiveness of the actions under the Global Money Week umbrella, the Bank of Greece, as national coordinator, contacted other agencies that are active in financial education, with a view to informing them on the Global Money Week initiative and the Bank’s role as national coordinator, as well as encouraging them to become part of a larger effort to promote financial literacy.
