Children aged between 7 and 10 years old are invited on July 22, between 09:00 AM and 01:00 PM, to the financial education program “A Holiday Day at BNM”. The initiative of the National Bank of Moldova offers participants the opportunity to learn how money and the financial system work, through games and interactive workshops, reports IPN.
According to BNM, the program includes a guided tour in the exhibition hall of the institution, where children will learn about the history of the Moldovan leu and will discover the collection of jubilee and commemorative coins issued by the central bank. Participants will also take part in a practical workshop dedicated to the safety features of banknotes, where they will learn how to verify their authenticity using specialized equipment. In addition, interactive discussions will be organized about the role of the National Bank, the functioning of the economy, financial markets and the influence of modern technologies on financial services.
“Financial education begins at a young age, when children ask their first questions about money: what it is, how we use it, why we save, and how we make wise choices. Through this program, we aim to provide them with their first landmarks about money and economy, in a clear, accessible way that is close to their world,” declared the governor of the BNM, Anca Dragu.
Parents, grandparents, and teachers interested in scheduling a visit as part of the project can send a request until July 19th to the institution’s email address. The request should include the name and phone number of the accompanying person, the name and age of the child or children, as well as the educational institution, if applicable. Visits will be organized in groups of approximately 20-25 children.
