WHY DOES GLOBAL THINKING FOUNDATION
TAKE PART TO THE MEETINGS?
Global Thinking Foundation regularly participates in meetings organized by the dall’OCDE, a member of INFE International Network Financial Education, and on the tables work of civil society: NGOCSW delle Nazioni Unite, CSO Working Groups di World Bank/IMF, Comitato W7/ G7, European FS Tech Hub of Milan di SDA Bocconi, Hermes – European Study Centre and G100/WEF Women Economic Forum. These participations constitutes an essential moment of exchange and updating with respect to trends, analyses and suggested guidelines, especially those falling within the Foundation’s mission. The extensive presence of CSOs (Civil Society Organisations) at global level also encourages the fruitful sharing of good practices and critical discussion on the issues and needs of women and girls and the most fragile segments of the population, thus enabling us to increase the food for thought and improve the formulation of projects carried out and improve the formulation of effective and measurable initiative to be disseminated in countries where the Foundation is active, for an effective and lasting social impact.
FINANCIAL EDUCATION
International Network for Financial Education
As the only Italian non-profit ETS Foundation marked by the Affiliate Member status, Global Thinking Foundation participates to the International Network for Financial Education – INFE. Created in 2008, the OCDE/INFE brings together 3o0 public institutions from over 130 countries, as well as civil society actors and private sector representatives, in order to address issues related to financial education, from the collection of comparable data to the development of methodologies for measuring the impact of programmes; from the definition of tools for the benefit of policy makers, to the sharing of good practices.
OCDE/INFE international report international of adult financial literacy
As the INFE/OCDE report shows, levels of financial literacy among adults are still low, especially in Italy compared to other OCDE countries. It is therefore necessary to give importance to measures that focus especially on fragile groups and gender equality, so that the knowledge gap can be closed. And above all to act on financial and digital education for the economic well-being of individuals and families.
Widespread social initiatives in our countries have shown us the power of social, sporting, and school venues to provide opportunities for families to meet.
Is therefore necessary to introduce new projects and initiatives that enable us to achieve greater equity and introduce ESG – Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance – based discussions. For this very reason, GLT drew on the OCED’s guidelines on financial literacy to introduce the following projects:
With the aim of encouraging conversations on gender equality for greater social development, the OCDE also introduced a Gender Portal:
a milestone towards gender language in publications.
PISA is the OECD’s programme for the international assessment of students, measuring the ability of 15-year-olds
to use their knowledge and skills in reading, mathematics and science to tackle real-life challenges.
