Project Summary

At the moment, when we applied project in Europe there were different initiatives coming from the banks, from OECD discussions and papers that should encourage migrants and minorities on financial and digital literacy. However, little had been done in terms of education attached to financial service, in creating simple access material that could build the basis for empowerment both in terms of digital skills and of financial household management. Therefore, creating tools for financial and digital literacy for people who works with fewer opportunity participants.

This was the result of the need from grassroots activities that we collected from focus groups. Therefore, SELF-MATE [Sharing and learning Platform in financial management and literacy for migrants and people with fewer opportunities] aimed to create knowledge/competence foundation of adult migrant households (25+) and train migrants’ educators in a number of themes. The main themes changed slightly during the project implementation such as 1. Financial Literacy and vocabulary 2. Personal Finances 3. Technology 4. Consumer rights 5. Financial security focusing on transversal competences. Furthermore, SELF-MATE aimed to empower migrant women and raise awareness about their concrete contribution in terms of family economy as well as in those uncountable values of safety and protection.
Concrete results of the project were
– an e-learning platform to acquire digital and financial through ad-hoc material for migrants and people with fewer opportunities;
– a double learning/teaching booklet, both for educators and for learners;
– a self-assessment tool to test digital financial knowledge one has on the web platform.
Project had also one training activity for staff to test the material that we produced. 15 staff/volunteer had joined the training In Ankara Turkey.
Project had affected by Covid in few aspects however the project team managed to able to decrease the risk to minimum and completed the project successfully. it is easy to access the platform through selfmate.eu
