The second workshop was called “Me and my budget” and aimed to develop a financial culture amongst children and youth. Participants learn about basic financial terms and create a family budget for one month period. They explore the concepts of spending, borrowing and saving, in order to learn how to manage their own money.

Guided visits to the exhibition space of the National Bank of Serbia Visitor Center’s standing exhibition “Money in the territory of Serbia – from its first appearance to current issues”.
