FINPOWER: Empowering Women in Sustainable Finance through Micro Learning

FINPOWER: Befähigung von Frauen zu nachhaltigem Finanzwesen durch Mikro-Lerneinheiten

FINPOWER is strategically designed to address the evident gender disparity in financial literacy. Recognizing that women often feel less confident in financial matters, coupled with distinct financial literacy needs, this project aims to empower women in sustainable finance through microlearning.

Statistically, women tend to earn less, save less, and live longer. Despite these challenges, they bear the responsibility for similar living expenses as men. The FINPOWER project aims to bolster women’s sustainable financial literacy, enabling optimal decision-making and fostering equal participation in modern society.
