In the school year 2024/25, Banka Slovenije and the Ministry of Finance are, under the patronage of Minister of Finance Klemen Boštjančič, organising a financial literacy project for primary school students Bodi FIN on the topic of financial security online. It is aimed at students from grade 4 to 9, who discuss various financial topics through the prism of their own financial security (online).
Mentors were sent exercises to prepare their students for the competition, with extra help from workshops delivered at school by Banka Slovenije staff. The project concluded with a nationwide schools competition held during Global Money Week. Gold awards went to 92 of the 1,200 competition participants. In Banka Slovenije we feel that the students showed good knowledge of financial content, and we are particularly pleased that the project has helped to include more content of this kind in the education process.
Project participants are invited to the closing ceremony to be held at Banka Slovenije on 18 April, which will be attended by the Finance Minister Klemen Boštjančič and Acting Governor Primož Dolenc.
