Kick-off Meeting of the Erasmus+ Project “EmpowerAbility: Financial Literacy for All”: Laying the Foundations for Inclusive Financial Education in Europe

On Wednesday, December 10, the partners of the Erasmus+ project “EmpowerAbility: Financial Literacy for All” met online for the project’s official kick-off meeting. This collaborative project is dedicated to strengthening the financial skills of adults living with mental health conditions (MHCs), with a strong focus on inclusion and accessibility for all.

This first meeting marks a key milestone in the launch of an ambitious new European collaboration among the partners:

• Valang Consulting (France) | www.valang-formation.fr/

• Fundación Sorapán de Rieros (Spain) | fundacionsorapan.org/

• Premiki (Slovenia) | premiki.com/

This European project (No. 2025-1-FR01-KA210-ADU-000351384) aims to develop tools, methods, and educational resources to make financial education more accessible to the most vulnerable adult populations. Building on the complementary expertise of the European partners, the project aims to:

• strengthen learners’ autonomy and self-confidence;

• promote social interaction and the inclusion of individuals.

This initial meeting enabled the partners to:

• share expectations and lay the organizational foundations;

• address the key aspects required for the smooth implementation of this new collaboration;

• define each partner’s roles and responsibilities.

To ensure the successful implementation of the project, monthly follow-up meetings will be organized.

The partners welcome this collaboration and the opportunity offered by the Erasmus+ programme to promote more inclusive adult education.
