The resources prepared by the consortium
FINPOWER Gaps Catalogue
The FINPOWER gaps catalogue provides a summary of the outcomes from WP 2, which is dedicated to gathering evidence-based data on financial literacy among women in Austria, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal, Romania, and Slovenia (project partner countries). This involves identifying gaps in financial literacy training and collecting best practices and innovative concepts for financial education aimed at women in Europe. Additionally, the activities within WP 2 aimed to investigate the competencies that women require to manage their personal finances, and to enable them to make empowered decisions in their day-to-day lives.
Microlearning guide used by the partners to prepare the course.
Microlearning refers to a learning approach that utilizes small, carefully designed
modules and brief learning activities. It addresses the brain’s limited working memory
capacity by tackling learner boredom, disengagement, and low retention, which often
occur due to cognitive overload caused by traditional long-format instruction.

FINPOWER Life Skills competence pack
The Skills and Competences Matrix is the set of knowledge, skills and competences which need to be acquired by the women to become financial literate. It is done based on the expertise available in the consortium, but also all findings gathered in WP2.
In the case of FINPOWER a skills and competences matrix is focusing on key components of literacy. Course modules defined based on the discussion at the meeting in Maribor are the following:
-
- Introduction to financial literacy
-
- Earning
-
- Spending
-
- Budgeting
-
- Saving
-
- Borrowing
-
- Investing
-
- Protecting
-
- Security.
FINPOWER Academy will be divided into two main parts.
One part will target trainers and will include training materials and manual for trainers all translated into national languages of all partners.
The second part will target women directly. This part will include self-assessment test, which will be the first step for women to check their background and to see which content should they learn. The course includes some interactive elements that will support users in using the microlearning units in the best way.
