This year, as a result of the strategic collaboration with KidZania, models of a local bank, fire station and insurance company were built and designed for children to perform role plays where they associated the responsible use of money with individual and collective values. Through this model city, children learnt about savings and preparing for emergencies through the different roles they played and through a guided dialog. This programme was the first and only of its kind within all the Financial Literacy Initiatives globally.

Furthermore, the Interactive Museum of Economics (MIDE) deployed a series of interactive and fun activities, where children performed four activities which helped them become aware of the responsible use of money:

• Discovering the World through 15 Currencies: children took a journey to different countries using their local coins. They explored a series of numismatics, their colours, forms and representative icons. Afterwards, there was a dialogue about the various institutions that provide the bills and coins throughout the world, as well as some money exchanging exercises.

• Value Scale: the children made daily life decisions, analysing a series of possibilities with different values, each one associated with each decision. The task became complicated when the children had to see that each decision taken balances with their ethic formation and financial decisions. This activity enhanced the children’s reflections on values related to financial decision present in daily life and the importance of keeping it in balance.

• A Savings adventure: children and youth learnt about savings and the road to their own goals and dreams.

• Mint your own coin: children were able to create their own money.

Global Money Week in Mexico welcomed the participation of the Interactive Museum of Economics (MIDE), the only museum in the world dedicated to economics, finance and sustainability. Throughout the week MIDE’s exhibitions were dedicated to commemorate the celebration of Global Money Week in more than 100 countries around the world. During Global Money Week MIDE, in collaboration with the Banco de Mexico and the Mexican Central Bank, launched the exhibition “1 Peso per Kilo” which explores how the Mexican history is linked to the use of the country’s currency. To join MIDE in their efforts CONDUSEF, the financial consumer protection service, put together a series of didactic materials which were used to teach children and youth the importance of savings and good financial habits. CONDUSEF accompanied this effort with a strong social media campaign.

Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) participated in Global Money Week by raising awareness on the national survey on financial culture. Felipe de la O, Coordinator of the Center of Public Opinion Studies, of the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences, presented the preliminary results. This pilot study, which UNAM is working on in collaboration with Banamex is the first ever national questionnaire being conducted in Mexico, which assesses savings, credit and entrepreneurship among youth.

The meetings have taken place and they have involved children and youth. They are also planning to do a videoconference.

The Catholic Relief Services held meetings in different localities from the Region of La Mixteca, Valle Centrales y Sierra Sur were they discussed the current status of financial education and the financial products available to children and youth in Mexica. The meetings involved representatives from various organisations concerned with the social and economic welfare and development of the young generation, as well as Mexican children and youth themselves.

In schools, EDUCA Network celebrated Aflatoun day and Global Money Week by inviting children and youth, parents and other community members. Among the activities there were songs and plays. The activities encouraged children and adolescents to see themselves as active participants and leaders in their community.

They had the opportunity to present their financial and social enterprises. They are able to do this from what they have learnt at the Aflatoun programme, using their knowledge of saving and spending, planning and budgeting.

In each case, the enterprises allowed children to promote and practice social change, obtain funds through these projects and take part in activities that help them conceptualize how the world works and how they can achieve a goal together.
