Financial Education for Vulnerable Adults - FEVA

There is an increasing recognition on financial education as an important tool to help vulnerable populations to exit poverty. Financial education allows people to increase their opportunities to have a better control and to better manage their financial resources. In Western Europe, there are a number of programmes on financial education but only a few are exclusively aimed at vulnerable groups. In Eastern Europe, financial education programmes are at an early stage of their development.  

The FEVA partnership (Financial Education for Vulnerable Adults) has been implemented within this context and within the framework of the Grundtvig Programme of the European Commission.

The Partnership for the Financial Education of Vulnerable Adults brings together the most significant initiatives on financial education in Eastern and Western Europe. The purpose of this project is to improve the access to the know-how and to improve the practices which will allow increasing the level of financial education of vulnerable adults. It is focused on the sharing of experiences in the field of adult’s education methods and tools as well as in the field of models that allow reaching a large number of vulnerable adults.

This project will allow improving the access to financial education tools to a larger number of practitioners which will enhance financial education practices, increase outreach and manage to rise the impact of the financial education programmes for vulnerable adults. 

Among other projects, the partnership will implement a European network of organisations which work on financial education for vulnerable adults in order to facilitate the development of specific policies and to share experiences.
