EDUCAÇÃO FINANCEIRA: CONHECENDO SEU PERFIL PARA PENSAR NO FUTURO

Abstract

With the introduction of the most recent Common National Curriculum Base (BNCC), financial education became part of the curriculum, requiring integration into various subjects and areas of knowledge. Financial education is essential for all citizens, regardless of age or educational background. The project “Financial Education: Knowing Your Profile to Plan for the Future” focuses on reflecting on financial education through the game “Who Are You in the Financial Game?”. The goal is to help students better understand themselves and others in terms of consumption and economic relationships, fostering awareness about their financial futures.The project was implemented at Escola Municipal Manoel da Silveira Medeiros Sobrinho in Teresópolis with two ninth-grade classes in Elementary School. Teaching financial education to these students instilled hope for a better future and demonstrated that nothing is impossible if they remain focused and financially educated. It highlighted the importance of effort in growing, learning, believing in themselves, and striving for more. By incorporating financial education into the school context, we pave the way for reducing social injustices, while simultaneously fostering awareness, nurturing dreams, and inspiring the creation of new opportunities.
