Financial Literacy Book: The project was born from the awareness that financial literacy was one of the most neglected areas of knowledge at the beginning of the 21st century. And this is why the Global Shapers from the Lisbon Hub decided to act.
Maria and the secret of Saving is an illustrated book on financial literacy for young people, authored by the Global Shapers Lisbon Hub, which aims to help young people understand the basic concepts about how money and savings work. With a foreword by António Simões, Executive Chairman of Santander Spain and Regional Manager for Europe, the Portuguese edition – the first to be published internationally – is the result of a partnership between the Global Shapers, Grupo Leya and Banco Santander Portugal. The book becomes available at a time when ECB data show that Portugal is last in the eurozone financial literacy ranking.
Global Dignity Day: Consists of a two-hour training on the subject of dignity, directed to students in primary and high school. It takes place in the month of October and is a day celebrated around the world. In 2018, this inititiave reached more than 4000 students in underprivileged schools around the country.
