PROBLEM: Traditional classroom-based financial education models are becoming obsolete, failing to engage and involve Generation Z. Young people need a dynamic and interactive learning experience that supports their development of financial and entrepreneurial skills.
 
SOLUTION: In collaboration with a group of Italian banks, we designed a process to transform financial education into a dynamic and interactive learning experience, powered by the Discord platform. The program involves transforming young students into young entrepreneurs by creating opportunities for discussion and skill growth in a supportive environment. The course involved designing an innovative start-up, allowing participants to put what they learned into practice and develop their entrepreneurial skills. The best ideas were funded by the bank with cash prizes.
 
SUCCESS: The program has successfully transformed financial education, engaging and involving Generation Z in the learning process. The use of the Discord platform has created a dynamic and interactive learning environment, supporting the development of entrepreneurial skills. The inclusion of a series of talks by entrepreneurs has provided a real-world perspective, encouraging the birth of new ideas and supporting the development of innovative start-ups. The success stories of young entrepreneurs showcased in the talk have inspired many students to pursue their dreams and start their own businesses.
