Financial education is becoming increasingly important across Europe, not only as a tool for improving personal financial decisions, but also as a way to strengthen resilience, inclusion and long-term economic stability.
Within the WISE4WOMEN – Financial Intelligence of Immigrant Women for Independent Stability and Empowerment project, the central focus is on supporting migrant women in developing the knowledge and skills needed to navigate financial systems with greater confidence and independence. Sharing relevant opportunities and encouraging exchange within the wider financial education community also supports this objective.
In this context, the European Commission has launched a call for best practices in financial education, inviting stakeholders from across Europe to contribute examples of effective initiatives.
The purpose of the call is to identify approaches that have proven successful, encourage the exchange of knowledge between EU Member States and support the development of stronger financial literacy policies and practices.
The initiative is open to a wide range of contributors, including individuals, public authorities, private sector organisations, NGOs, educational institutions and researchers.
The Commission is particularly interested in initiatives related to three areas: investing, saving and financial risk management.
Eligible examples can include educational programmes, training activities, awareness campaigns, teaching materials, digital tools and other types of learning resources designed to improve financial knowledge and decision-making.
It is important to note that initiatives focused primarily on budgeting, credit and debt management or fraud prevention fall outside the current scope of this specific call.
Submitted initiatives will be reviewed in order to identify useful insights and effective practices. The results will contribute to a summary report designed to inform future developments in financial literacy at European level.
The European Commission has also indicated that the initiative is expected to expand to additional areas of financial education in 2027, creating further opportunities for organisations and professionals working in this field.
For WISE4WOMEN, initiatives such as this are closely connected to the wider conversation around financial empowerment. Effective financial education depends not only on access to information, but also on understanding which methods, tools and learning approaches are most useful for different target groups.
This is particularly relevant when working with migrant women, who may face additional barriers linked to language, unfamiliar financial systems or limited access to tailored educational resources.
By sharing opportunities for exchange and contributing to a broader European dialogue on financial literacy, the project supports the development of stronger and more inclusive approaches to financial education.
The deadline for submissions is 30 October 2026, and applications are made through the official EUSurvey platform. An active EU Login account is required to complete the submission process.
Through knowledge exchange, cooperation and the promotion of proven practices, initiatives such as this can help strengthen financial education across Europe and contribute to more informed, resilient and financially confident communities.
