Romanian Commercial Bank (BCR) is organizing, March 17-21, on the occasion of Global Money Week, over a hundred free financial education workshops in over 50 schools, high schools and universities across the country, the bank announced in a press release.
The action is carried out with the support of the Ministry of Education and the County School Inspectorates, with over 150 BCR employees, financial education teachers within the Money School program, being involved at the national level.
"Early financial education is not just about money, but about choices, responsibility and the future. Through the Money School, we want to provide children and young people with knowledge, but especially the confidence to make the right financial decisions. We are proud to join, once again, the Global Money Week initiative, and we continue to support this global effort. We offer Romanian pupils and students access to practical workshops and resources that will help them build a more secure financial future. Partnerships with schools, high schools, universities and the support of the Ministry of Education allow us to bring financial education closer to children and young people, because we know that every lesson learnt today can make a difference tomorrow", said Nicoleta Deliu Pasol, Head of Communication & CSR BCR, quoted in the press release.
The theme of Global Money Week 2025, "Think before you follow, wise money tomorrow", launches a conversation around the importance of critical thinking in making financial decisions.
Through the Money School, BCR has supported, in the last 9 years, almost two million Romanians of various ages to learn to better manage their money, providing them with essential knowledge about short, medium and long-term financial balance and planning. The actions carried out within Global Money Week complement this effort, aiming to help 5,000 pupils and students develop essential financial education knowledge through which they can make better decisions for the future.
On the occasion of Global Money Week, BCR makes available to parents and teachers free online resources, designed to support the learning process of the little ones. Beyond the actions carried out by trainers, teachers have access throughout the year to the digital platform life-lab.ro, which offers free resources, ready to use in the classroom, regardless of the subject. Geography, literature or mathematics can teach students how to manage their budget and develop skills such as: collaboration, communication and planning.
CR, member of Erste Group, is one of the most important financial groups in Romania, including universal banking operations (retail, corporate & investment banking, treasury and capital markets), as well as specialized companies on the leasing, private pensions and housing banks markets.
