Banque de France
This was the first time that Banque de France participated in Global Money Week. Banque de France is a ‘national strategy for financial education operator’. Workshops and visits to classes were organised to discuss budgeting and bank accounts, as well as trying to raise awareness in a fun way with the game “My questions on money”. Multiple partners participated by organising similar activities. During this week, Banque de France employees were widely mobilized at the headquarters, as well as within their branch network. More than 3000 secondary school and high school students participated in the various workshops and activities. The Banque de France, in collaboration with Finances & Pedagogie, organised multiple workshops. The subjects of the workshops were as follows:
- “How to manage your budget?” workshop. The aim of this workshop was to help participants understand how to budget and understanding why budgeting is important, by way of real-life budgeting examples.
- “My first bank account” workshop. Participants discovered the usefulness of bank accounts, as well as tips on how to use them properly. The main means of payment were introduced. Students learnt how to fill out a check and how to recognize the different security signs on euros banknotes.
- “Selfie-posters” workshop. During this workshop, students were asked to reflect on the importance of savings and money matters, by way of GMW posters. These posters, each greatly original, led to lively discussions on the place of money in our world and the need to understand its usefulness.
- “My questions on money”. All students preview-tested a board game with questions adapted to their age. A funny way of approaching money matters and developing knowledge on several themes (budget, means of payment, credit, insurance, purchases/expenses). These one-hour game sessions were met with great enthusiasm.
During the various workshops, participants took a 20-question quiz to evaluate their progress. At the end of the day, each student received an EDUCFI passport (a diploma attesting basic knowledge on budget and financial education). During this exciting week, 4 high school students in Management Science were honored during the Economic Excellence Award. The ceremony took place at the Banque de France headquarters in Paris on March 15, 2018, in the presence of the Deputy Director for Individuals, representatives from the Créteil Inspection Académique, and students from the four laureate classes. The 98 participants worked on the topic “developments in the labour market in France for 10 years”. Furthermore, the Public Financial Education Institute (IEFP) organised a session for a class. The French Banking Federation organised an session in elementary schools with a game “I invite a banker to my class”. EFPA France organised at University Paris 13 a conference on a responsible manner to spend money, for all students. The speakers were Mrs Fare, a researcher specialized in local currencies and Mr Abel, co-founder of the Montreuil’s local currency. The purpose was to emphasize the impacts of spending money. This first participation in GMW was a great success and helped to raise awareness among thousands of young people across France, thanks to the Banque de France employees and its numerous partners. The class teachers who participated in this edition have already expressed their interest to renew the experience next year!
