In 2024, BPER and Est Radio created Fintonic, an event designed to bring together different generations to discuss financial issues that affect young people in particular. The idea is simple: to talk about money, the future and economic choices in a clear way, without too many turns of phrase, and with a light-hearted approach, over a drink. The objective? To eliminate doubts and fears about the future, so that people can manage their money with more confidence and awareness.
Let's grow up together
We promote various financial education projects for secondary school and university students.
Our goal is to impart personal finance knowledge and help students acquire the skills and habits they need to learn how to manage their money and savings wisely, use credit and select financial instruments for prudent investment. Financial education helps young people to be more aware and make informed, responsible and sustainable decisions for the immediate future, to build the foundations for their future by investing in their studies or entering the world of work, and to become adults who are prepared to navigate a complex economic and financial system.

Why is financial literacy important?
Why is financial literacy important?
Knowledge empowers people to understand information and filter out unreliable sources, assess opportunities and risks, make informed choices based on their needs, think long term and plan for the future, and consult with reliable professionals who can provide expert advice.
Financial education helps young people and adults alike to:
- Build independence: helping young people understand the value of money and teaching them how to manage a budget and save for goals makes them more independent and responsible;
- Avoid unsustainable debt: understanding how loans, credit cards and overdrafts work helps people recognise the risks and avoid over-indebtedness;
- Achieve dreams: whether it's a new smartphone, a study trip or university, financial planning makes small and large goals more achievable and gives the satisfaction of doing it on your own;
- Develop critical thinking: understanding how money and the economy work develops an analytical and decision-oriented mindset that is useful in every aspect of life;
- Avoid pitfalls: it is important to recognise the risks of everyday digital technologies, such as online scams, personal data theft and sources that spread misinformation;
- Preparing for the future: from buying a home to planning for retirement, managing your life path means setting long-term goals because today's financial decisions profoundly influence tomorrow.
"Un passo verso il futuro"
It is an innovative online financial education project dedicated to secondary school students. Through the Educazionedigitale.it platform, with Un passo verso il futuro (A Step Towards the Future) we provide teachers with a complete educational programme of resources for teacher training and materials for organising interactive and engaging financial literacy lessons. In addition to providing the basic concepts of finance and personal financial management, it introduces elements of innovative ethical finance to address the issues of sustainability and inclusion promoted by the UN with the 17 sustainable development goals of the 2030 Agenda.
"Previmenti"
The free digital FSL (School-Work Training) path we offer to secondary school students, enabling them to develop knowledge and skills in the field of social security, introducing them to the key professions involved in guiding citizens towards protecting themselves and their loved ones, both now and in the future. By offering specialist content in a simple and accessible way, FSL aims to spread financial and social security awareness as widely as possible.
Story doing
A new free financial education project that helps secondary school students learn about, evaluate and plan their financial choices through a situational game and supplementary educational resources. Story Doing creates a dynamic, personalised learning experience that stimulates curiosity and is closely linked to the development of skills such as problem solving and critical thinking.
Choose your future
An original financial education project created in collaboration with VIK School. A programme that guides young people, with the support of their teachers, to reflect on their financial choices and leads them to make informed and forward-thinking decisions so that they can face their future with confidence. Designed both as an e-book – to be used in class with the constructive support of the teacher – and as an app to be used independently at home, the programme stimulates reflection, reasoning and learning among young people, transforming abstract rules into real life choices.
FEduf
BPER and the Foundation for Financial Education and Savings (FEDUF) promote initiatives for schools and adults on financial education, citizenship and sustainability to foster a new culture of economic citizenship and disseminate innovative educational programmes. We offer secondary schools the “Che Impresa Ragazzi” course, with BPER experts providing in-depth knowledge of money management and family accounting, encouraging an initial approach to the world of work and business.
"La mia impresa il mio futuro" - My business, my future
BPER is collaborating with Fondazione Sodalitas on this initiative, which involves secondary school students working in groups to imagine launching a start-up business and preparing a business plan. The students develop entrepreneurial and sustainability skills through seminars held by Fondazione Sodalitas managers and BPER professionals.
B-education: valuable ideas
A multidisciplinary programme developed in synergy with FEduF, CivicaMente and ASviS, with the collaboration of Officine Italia, the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and ADEIMF.
In its two editions, the project aimed to promote financial education and sustainability as cross-cutting citizenship skills in study programmes.
