CBK marks the International Children’s Day with an educational activity

On the occasion of International Children’s Day, the Central Bank of the Republic of Kosova welcomed around 40 third-grade pupils of the LSS/SHFMU “Gjergj Fishta” from Prishtina to its premises, in a special educational activity. This activity is part of the CBK’s ongoing commitment to promote financial education among children and young people, as one of the key factors for their financial future and sustainable well-being.

During the visit, the CBK financial education team informed the pupils on the main functions of the institution, emphasizing the importance of financial education from an early age, as a basis for developing appropriate decision-making skills in the future.

Unlike previous visits, this year the pupils were engaged throughout the activity, becoming part of the decision-making process in managing their personal budget. Through interactive games and simulations, they discussed the best ways to distinguish needs from wants, the importance of saving, and being careful in spending money – both at school and at home.

Through this inclusive format, the CBK’s staff advised pupils on creating good financial habits, and provided space for children’s voices and ideas to be expressed through educational activities, adapted to their age.  

The activity was conducted through conversation and educational games, budget management simulations and open discussions with the CBK’s officials, promoting practical learning about personal finances, as well as raising awareness of the risks arising from digitalization and electronic channels.

The CBK remains committed to developing contemporary approaches to financial education, while through such initiatives aims to contribute to increasing the economic and financial knowledge of children and young people, providing them with valuable knowledge for a sustainable and financially responsible future.
