💡 About the Project
Economy Explained is an Erasmus+ Training Course that aims to make economic concepts more understandable and accessible for youth workers and educators.
In everyday life, economic decisions influence many aspects of society, from employment and entrepreneurship to social inclusion and public policies. However, economic topics are often perceived as complex or inaccessible.
This training course focuses on breaking down key economic ideas into practical, understandable concepts that youth workers can use when working with young people.
Through non-formal education methods, simulations, discussions and collaborative activities, participants will explore how economic systems function and how economic literacy can empower young people to better understand the world around them.
Participants will also reflect on the role of economic awareness in promoting active citizenship, responsible decision-making and social responsibility within communities.
🎯 Objectives

- Explore how economic systems affect everyday life and social development.
