"Young Economist 3" is a training program of M.E. "Youth Centre Plovdiv", which for the third time brought together young people ready to convince themselves and others in the importance and power of financial literacy. For 4 months, students and stakeholders from the city of Plovdiv and the region enriched their culture and finances.
With their first steps, they got acquainted with the essence of the economic system, discussed issues such as "What is money for me?", "How to achieve my short-term and long-term goals?". The young economists went through methods and tools for more effective management of their personal budget, compared "saving" and "investing", got acquainted with investment products, credit traps, protection of their own property and their future by presenting individual types of insurance products and opportunities for pension insurance.
The result of the third edition of the Young Economist training program is the formation of extremely active, energetic and motivated groups of young people who, already aware of the need and role of financial literacy for the individual and society, are ready to pass on what they have learned, experienced and achieved. Expect what they have prepared very soon - something youthful, interesting and very useful!
