Global Social and Financial Skills Conference – Empowering Generations, Sparking Change

Following the coverage of the iLearn partnership between Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions (KBBS) and Aflatoun International in last month’s Currency News™, an important event is coming up on the subject of financial literacy.

Aflatoun is organizing the 6th Global Social and Financial Skills Conference to bring together experts and practitioners from around the world to share knowledge and best practices to socially and economically empower children and young people. The event will take place from 1-3 November in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

‘The conference will build on the 2022 Transforming Education Summit and the United Nations Secretary General Vision Statement on Transforming Education. They articulate the importance of social‐emotional, financial and entrepreneurship skills as key elements of transformed education systems, recognising that these 21st century skills are crucial to prepare children and youth for the challenges of a rapidly changing world,’ says Roeland Monasch, CEO of Aflatoun International.
