By -

Global Money Week (GMW) is a celebration, with local and regional events and activities aimed at inspiring children and youth to learn about money, saving, creating livelihoods, gaining employment, and becoming an entrepreneur. It is coordinated, supported and facilitated by the Child &Youth Finance International (CYFI) Team, but the events themselves are organized by schools, universities, government ministries, central banks, financial institutions, members of the civil society and communities of active youth worldwide.
What is the goal of Global Money Week?
The goal of GMW is to teach children and youth about money, saving, creating livelihoods, gaining employment and becoming an entrepreneur through interactive and fun activities.
What is the theme of Global Money Week 2016?
GMW 2016’s theme is ‘Take Part. Save Smart!’. This year, Global Money Week continues the focus on the importance of saving: taking part in smart savings behaviour helps children and youth to secure their futures.
Why save smart? Because: it is important for children and youth to learn and take part in clever cost-careful habits from an early age, in order to avoid financial exclusion and develop key money-managing skills for later in life.
When is Global Money Week?
Global Money Week (GMW) is taking place in the second week of March each year. This year’s GMW will take place from 14th to 20th of March, 2016.
