effective shift Towards digital education in the field of crypto and financial literacy in Secondary Schools
Welcome to the Cryptopolis
Where We Build the financial and crypto literacy
CRYPTOPOLIS is a project supported by EU which focuses on the financial management knowledge of teachers and the emerging field of risk management and risk analysis of cryptocurrencies.
The latest School Education Gateway survey (2021) exposed that the school curriculum should change and include new topics. One of the important topic, that is less frequently taught is financial literacy, which nowadays also have to include crypto topics. Cryptocurrency has shown to be a vital and rapidly growing component in today’s digital economy therefore there is a need to include not just financial but also crypto literacy into the schools. Beside multiple investors and traders the market is attracting an increasing number of young individuals, viewing it as an easy way to make money. A large pool of teenagers and young adults want to hop on this train, but a lack of cryptocurrency literacy, as well as financial literacy in general amongst youth, together with their inexperience with investing makes them even more vulnerable to an already high-risk investment.
Therefore, we aim to increase the capacity and readiness of secondary schools to manage an effective shift towards digital education in the field of crypto and financial literacy. The project will develop the purposeful use of digital technologies in financial and crypto education for teaching, learning, assessment and engagement.
