The Hellenic Open University (HOU) and the DAISSy Research Group invite you to the info session of the “Empowering young people through financial literacy” Erasmus+ project, which takes place online on Wednesday, September 13, 2023, through the electronic Zoom platform (18:00-19.30 EEST).
The event aims to present the content of the “Empowering the youth through Financial Literacy” European project, implemented by DAISSy Research Group of the HOU as the Greek partner, emphasizing on the analysis of the innovative tools developed so far, within its framework.
It is true, that financial literacy ensures access, development and empowerment on themes of economic aspects. However, it is not always, a topic provided successfully, by official educational institutions.
This is the reason why, a main action of the European project is the development of a respective Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), implemented under the responsibility of the DAISSy-HOU. Specifically, the course is structured in six modules and includes training material, presentations, practical manuals, and self-assessment questions.
Therefore, the first part of the info session includes presentations of the project’s tools (the MOOC included), while the second part is dedicated to group discussions with educators and youth counsellors regarding their needs and the way of using the tools of the project.
- The event is open to the public and is mainly addressed to educators and youth counsellors on issues in the wider field of economics.
- It is held in Greek.

The “Empowering the youth through Financial Literacy” is a two-year project funded by the Erasmus+ European program.
Its main objective is to enhance the professional employment of young people, supporting them in acquiring financial knowledge and developing skills for a smoother integration into the labour market. In particular, strengthening young people’s entrepreneurial capacities will help them meet everyday life challenges as workers/employees or as self-employed.
The project is implemented by a consortium of five (5) partners representing five (5) European countries (Greece, Belgium, Spain, Poland, and Georgia). The DAISSy Research Group of the HOU, the Greek partner, is involved in all project deliverables and is responsible for the development and operation of the project’s learning platform and the development of its educational program.
