HESED`s team started the exploitation activities of the Finally – financial literacy for Roma products. The first of the range of activities was performed at 21. January 2016. Our trainers Boyan Vassilev and Teodora Bochukova performed a workshop on financial literacy with young people from Filipovitzi, Sofia. The young people are involved in a program for professional orientation and improvement of their professional prospects. The program for financial literacy was introduced to the teenagers who are at the last stage of their high school education. During the workshop the teenagers got acquainted to the innovative methodological tool, which is one of the core elements of the training program for financial literacy for Roma– the Romonopoly game and had the chance to play it. The game was evaluated to be very interesting and providing different perspective on the topic for family budget management, mostly because it incorporates elements from the traditional life style of the Roma community. The young people expressed their interest to be involved in financial literacy training in the future.
