On 18 April 2026, the Florence School of Banking and Finance brought financial literacy to Casa delle Donne in Florence, with a hands-on workshop designed for the young women of Prime Minister Firenze — a leadership programme for girls aged 14 to 19.
The session was led by Project Coordinator Eliana Canavesio, who facilitated a structured discussion and interactive activities exploring the participants' relationship with money: how they pay, whether they save, and where their financial habits and beliefs come from.
The workshop was built around a simple but often overlooked premise: talking about money is a skill, and one that young women are too rarely encouraged to develop. Through movement-based activities and guided reflection, participants were invited to examine not just their practical habits, but the emotional and cultural dimensions of their relationship with money — from family influences to the anxiety or freedom that financial choices can carry.
For the Florence School of Banking and Finance, afternoons like this one are part of a broader effort to bring financial knowledge into spaces where it can make a tangible difference — a reminder that financial education is most powerful when it meets people where they are, not only in a lecture hall, but in conversations that feel real.
