FinAncial EducatIon foR Legal economY

Fundamental tools to recognize illegal conducts in the supply of financial services.

About Fairly

FAIRLY will be addressing people with no or little financial background in order to educate them with financial knowledge, and to provide them with the fundamental tools to recognize illegal conducts in the supply of those financial services related to day-to-day and/or working life.

The main objective of FAIRLY is to foster the financial literacy of unemployed people (in particular young people), households and professionals, by giving them the ability to defend themselves from the most widespread illegal practices in the daily finance and economy world, by fostering “anti-fraud skills”.

Objectives

Increase the financial literacy of adults
Increase the ability of the target groups to deal with daily or life economic/financial decisions
Increase the ability of the target groups to start a business and cope with the related issues
Educate to the so-called “legal economy”, above all in the rural and less-developed areas

Increase the ability of the target groups to recognize financial “misconducts” to make the right financial or economic choices
Develop innovative education practices, with a particular attention to the methodology and the development of educational ICT tools, such as smartphone apps

Target Groups

The main target groups of the project include:

Unemployed/NEET
Households
Professional (mostly freelance) workers

Besides them, a wide range of stakeholders will be involved, such as trainers, financial and banking field and law enforcement representatives, including:

Incubators/Accelerators/Business Fostering Organizations
VET Centers/Providers
Public Bodies and Economic Development Bodies (Regional Development Agencies, Governance levels designing policies)

The FAIRLY project plans to engage a wide range of stakeholders, decision makers and other professionals linked to financial and economic fields, from partners’ direct contact. A stakeholders’ list will be created considering project partners’ networks.

Learning activities

The teaching/learning activities aim at supporting the assessment of methodologies, training material and ICT tools developed within the FAIRLY project. They will allow generating innovation on financial and anti-fraud skills and disseminating FAIRLY results. A learning activity is the most accurate way to test the efficacy of the training material and of the FAIRLY platform. The outcome of the learning activity can give the chance to consolidate the methodology and offer a valid training system for the sustainability of the project.

Intellectual outputs

A total of three intellectual outputs will be developed throughout the project duration:
IO1 → Legal economy training modules: how to take correct financial decisions.
IO2 → FAIRLY training platform and webapp.
IO3 → A Practical Guide for informed and safe choice.

Measuring the impact of Fairly training materials

To measure the impact of Fairly training materials, Faily project partners prepared a short questionnaire, aimed at current and future users of project outputs. The questionnaire is completely anonymous, and the answers will only be used for project-related purposes.

Project partners would appreciate your collaboration on FAIRLY project by answering the questionnaire. The feedback received will help the project consortium to measure the short-term impact of the materials.
