To celebrate GMW2019, Brazil organised the 6th edition of the National Financial Education (“Enef”) Week and it was a major success. This year, over 15,000 initiatives were organised, doubling the amount of initiatives organised in 2018. This includes over 5,000 lectures and close to 2,000 workshops. The Week was opened by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), the Superintendence of Private Insurance (Susep) and the President of the National Committee for Financial Education (Conef).

The theme of this year’s Enef Week was on financial education in schools. Additionally, a project led by the Central Bank and sponsored by the Ministry of Justice, was disseminated, with the purpose of teaching basic financial education in public schools. The goal is to have the project implemented by 2020 throughout the country. Presentations on the project were made in the different capitals. Each presentation had a different theme, covering the various aspects of financial education for primary education. Examples of the themes are “Financial Action in Schools: how to evaluate the impact of educational actions?” and “How to further the professional development of the teacher?” Not only face-to-face events, but also social media and the special Enef website played a great role in reaching as many people as possible.

The Security Exchange Commission of Brazil (CVM) together with the Brazilian stock exchange, Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias & Futuros de São Paulo (BM & FBOVESPA) commenced their participation in Global Money Week on March 12, with a symbolic ring of the opening bell to mark the beginning of the fantastic week ahead. The event marked the participation of CVM and BM & FBOVESPA in this worldwide celebration and featured the special participation of the youth Vocational Association BM & FBOVESPA. On March 17th the CVM also gathered a group of young people between 14 and 18 years old and discussed the importance of making informed and independent financial decisions with them. The young participants were then divided into groups and were granted a virtual income, allowing them to make choices about different goods and services. After making their purchasing decisions, the participants made a budget and shared this with their peers. Sharing the results of their decisions fostered a debate on the impacts of the financial decisions on their lives. The event provided opportunities for the participants to discuss different financial concepts, such as financial planning, budgeting and saving. The participants were encouraged to reflect upon the importance of keeping track of their expenses, taking control of spending and saving. The objective was to raise awareness among youngsters about the importance of making informed and autonomous financial decisions. It was a great contribution to GMW from a country which is leading in the inclusion of financial education in school curriculum worldwide!

“I never thought that a class with calculations could be so fun! The volunteers were really engaged in giving examples aimed to make us understand that managing money is not just another one of our parents’ responsibilities”Girl, 11 years old.

GMW also marked the release of the first module on financial education by the BM&F BOVESPA Educational Institute. In addition, money-awareness was consolidated by the launch of the first Brazilian television channel entirely devoted to financial education. The channel, which is suitable for all ages, covers topics such as personal finance, retirement planning and sustainable finance, and has national coverage. During Global Money Week, Mais Ativos introduced their mascot "Dinheirinho" ("Little Banknote") at an event attended by 200 children. Another event took place inside tents, each of which had different fun and interactive activities such as mini lectures, storytelling, essay writing competitions and an arts and crafts workshop for the very young. An awards ceremony for the winners of the essay contest was held and each participant received a certificate indicating their participation in Global Money Week’s financially themed activities. Mais Ativos also conducted a teacher training workshop for elementary school teachers. Teachers were introduced to techniques on how to include financial education in their classroom activities, and given the resources and methods needed to provide students with a multidisciplinary approach to money and finance.

“To have the opportunity to develop this type of activity with our students was a privilege. The quality of the content, materials and engagement of volunteers positively caught our attention” Berenice Campos, School Director.

Amongst these activities there was also the collection and donation of books on financial education for schools and community libraries, with a discount on all book purchases made through the Mais Ativos website. They also released articles about the importance of financial education for children and youth written by Brazilian experts in this field. Press releases and news about GMW activities were posted in their social media channels.

“For us it was really great to be part of this celebration. For a strong development of our economy, it is vitally important to share financial knowledge in our society, and especially among children”Claudia Rheinfranck, Allianz Sustainability Manager and My Finance Coach volunteer.

Lastly, My Finance Coach in Brazil arranged 2 special class visits. Distributed in Indonesia, Malaysia and Germany, My Finance Coach handed out a worksheet highlighting the importance of saving and planning when it comes to achieving your goals. During the class visit the students were also taught a module on “Shopping”, which encouraged children to identify the difference between needs and wants, the influence of advertising, and consumer rights.
