About the project

The Erasmus+ project “Economic knowledge made easy for everyone” set out to do two things:

Across the board

Help individuals acquire and develop basic skills and key competences.
Adult education

Improve and widen the range of high-quality learning opportunities designed for people with few formal qualifications.

Four intellectual outputs

The project set out to reach those aims through the following work:

1 An ABC economics game
2 A simple newspaper, WiWi, written for the target group (economic knowledge made easy)
3 A web-based platform: economic knowledge made easy (online learning)
4 A training programme: economic knowledge made easy

What the four outputs cover

Savings and assets (what you are saving for, interest, ways to save, opportunities and risks)
Money coming in and going out (household budget, income and spending)
Current accounts (how does an account actually work?)
Pensions (state pensions, private provision)
Borrowing (property, loans, leasing)
Must-have products (liability insurance, savings accounts)

Note that the project results are deliberately distinct from qualifications such as the EBCL (European Business Competence Licence). EBCL topics — accounting, cost accounting, company performance figures and commercial law — are NOT part of this project.
