Financial education arrives directly in the homes of Italians. The project is by the Global Thinking Foundation, a non-profit foundation set up in 2016 and chaired by Claudia Segre, with the aim of promoting financial literacy, an increasingly important aspect of our social and economic life, but on which unfortunately Italian families are often unprepared. The initiative is called #GLTAcasa, it is 100% digital and aimed at women, adults and families to explain the main economic-financial topics to all through a series of engaging and free activities that it will be possible to carry out from the comfort of your own home.
The training activity is consisting of twelve podcasts, entitled "Finance 4.0 to the topics of Covid 19", which can be listened to on Spotify, Spreaker, Google Podcasts and Apple Podcasts. The podcasts will be accompanied by real webinars and web seminars, which will offer the possibility of interacting "live" with the expert. But what are we talking about? About what you often hear on the news but don't understand: from the QE to the ESM, passing through safe-haven assets and how to suspend mortgage payments. But that's not all, also everything related to the world of work and school: from distance learning to smartworking, up to telemedicine.
#GLTAcasa therefore goes to confirm the commitment of the Global Thinking Foundation, which has always supported its activity in the area with free digital content, in the belief that knowledge accessible to all represents the key point for true social inclusion, gender-based but not only. The previous products were the FamilyMI digital platform and the Consapevoli & Indipendenti app, the first in Italy against economic violence. Without forgetting the flagship project of the "Donne al Quadrato" Foundation, the financial literacy course born two years ago and which met 1500 women in 34 cities in Italy: it becomes entirely digital.
“During this period – he commented Claudia Segre, President of the Global Thinking Foundation – in which we are asked to stay at home due to the Coronavirus emergency, we are even more exposed to news regarding the economic provisions made by governments and the effects this emergency is having on the financial markets. Therefore, the need and desire to have adequate training and more solid foundations to understand what is happening around us is growing. The world of work and school is also changing and there is an increasing awareness of the need to adapt the training offer. Ours is modular, usable both via audio and video, as well as within the virtual classrooms, and integrates 24 topics on the world of work, taxation, economics and finance, alongside the topics of financial education already developed in the Women Squared Project, for streamlined and current distance learning".
