    • Awareness raising: Money Skills will be supported by a wide awareness raising campaign through social media, multimedia, dissemination seminars and conferences.
  2. Objectives/priorities relevant to all fields:

    • Provision of tangible learning outcomes: The learning outcomes will immediately become visible in the everyday life of the young adults;
    • Validation of non-formal and informal learning: Money & Life Skills encompasses a series of components related to non-formal and informal learning such as access to online data and games, use of multimedia, forums and social networks. The partners will validate these activities and provide online certificates to the users.
