Teaching financial education in a historical moment of great economic uncertainty seems to be important for families and the Turin Savings Museum has been able to trace a path in this sense by becoming a multimedia laboratory where economics and the art of saving walk side by side to each other and interface in an interactive and playful way.
This is why the Museum is once again renewing its offer of educational itineraries and guided tours dedicated to schools of all levels. In particular, it intends to involve an average of 6.000 students a year in its on-site activities and a further 7.000 users through projects carried out in other cities.
“We think we can do even more – comments the director Giovanna Paladino. In Italy there is literally a hunger for basic knowledge on how to plan and save for a life and work project. Our goal in 2018 is to continue to facilitate young people arriving from outside the city thanks to a loan granted by the European Bank and to bring the Museum format to other regions as well, a novelty that we will present on 5 October".
The Museum has 5 thematic areas: Knowing, Understanding, Dreaming, Telling, Experimenting, where you work with the aid of 3D videos, interactive applications, theatrical animations, role-playing games.
One of the thematic rooms to visit is that of Saving which houses a rotating collection of 1.500 piggy banks from various eras, shapes and materials from all over the world.
Le proposed activities They include:
– Guided group tours (max. 25 students) with differentiated thematic itineraries in
based on different research needs.
– Educational workshops (max. 25 students) to learn in an interactive way e
playful the basic concepts of economics and finance.
– Educational seminars (min. 4 classes) on topics of particular interest to schools

The official page of the Museum describes the calendar of upcoming eventsi: among the events in October – Financial Education Month – the cycle Time is money, then the event From brick to ethical finance and, for the little ones, workshops with the Pepper robot to learn how to save while playing. On 24 October, the presentation of Emilio Barucci's book Who will save finance, a reflection on the evolution of the financial world ten years after the Lehman Brothers crisis, will open the week of initiatives for World Savings Day.
