Since 2008, Banca d'Italia has offered the program 'Financial Education in Schools' based on two key components:
training for teachers at all school levels;
educational booklets specifically developed and distributed free of charge to both teachers and students.
Banca d'Italia branches across the country organise seminars to train teachers who are introduced to fundamental concepts in economics and finance like sources of income and the importance of financial planning, the functions of money and how prices are determined, different payment methods, the importance of saving and the various forms of investment, and credit.
Specific sessions may delve deeper into additional topics related to the evolving economic and financial context.
Teaching methods and resources in training seminars
1. Banca d'Italia provides teacher training programs to enable them to bring financial education into their own classrooms
Teachers possess the pedagogical, didactic, and methodological skills needed to foster student learning; for this reason, Banca d'Italia has chosen a 'train the teacher' approach. However, to effectively address economic and financial topics, it is essential that teachers themselves receive appropriate support.
To facilitate the teaching of financial education, Banca d'Italia organises seminars for teachers at all school levels, from primary to upper secondary school, adaptable in terms of duration, depth, and format according to the preferences and needs expressed by the teachers.
During these seminars, Banca d'Italia presents the teaching resources it has developed. Among them is Tutti per uno economia per tutti!(All for One Economics for All!, only in Italian), a digital teaching tool with dedicated content designed to support the planning of lessons and insights on economic and financial topics. The tool is available free of charge for both teachers and students.
2. Banca d'Italia seminars are open to teachers of all subjects
Financial education is a cross-disciplinary and multidisciplinary subject that can be integrated into various subjects and educational contexts, thus contributing to the full development of active citizenship.
The 'Financial Education in Schools' program is intended for teachers of all disciplines: collaboration among different areas of knowledge, supported by an interdisciplinary approach, helps build the skills, knowledge, and competencies required for citizenship education of which economic literacy is an integral part.
3. The seminars are organized by Banca d'Italia branches throughout the country
Each year, Banca d'Italia offers free training seminars for teachers.
These seminars are organized by Banca d'Italia branches, which provide school principals and teachers with all the necessary information to participate in the seminars and other financial education initiatives held throughout the school year.
4. Educational materials are available free of charge to schools participating in the projects
Banca d'Italia educational resources, Tutti per uno economia per tutti! (All for One Economics for All!, (only in Italian), are available online at no cost. These resources are designed to accompany students through their training from primary to upper secondary school and to support teachers in planning lessons and exploring economic and financial topics in depth.
For each school level, there is a booklet for students and a guide for teachers. The two booklets are structured in parallel and cover the following topics: income and planning, money and prices, payments and purchases, saving and investment, credit. These topics are introduced to students through the stories of four friends and a dog who face real or realistic situations that involve economic implications, in a simple and relatable way.
In the student booklet, basic economic concepts are explained using language appropriate for the students' age. In the teacher's guide, those same concepts are presented with theoretical explanations, along with supplementary materials and engaging, hands-on classroom activities.
The guide also offers suggestions for integrating financial education with curricular subjects, adding an economic perspective to different areas of study, creating full learning units (UDAs), and exploring new topics in greater depth.
