Our group is committed, in Italy and abroad, to providing basic financial education to its customers and implementing financial inclusion projects, especially with regards to disadvantaged groups and those at risk of exclusion. The model we’ve adopted is based on the dissemination of simple and clear information on products and services. Each group company constructs their projects based on their own reference market.

FINANCIAL EDUCATION
Crescere che impresa!

In October 2020 the Mediobanca Group renewed its partnership with Junior Achievement for the second three-year cycle of Crescere, che impresa! (2020-23), the financial education project launched in September 2018.
In the first three-year cycle, the initiative that makes provision for the active involvement of Group Mediobanca employees, focused on schools in some poor areas of Puglia, Sicily, Tuscany, Luguria, Lombardy and was enriched with some new features: 

  • use of a digital platform on which to upload all useful materials (class lessons, educational kit for the class and family activity kit);
  • creation of e-learning modules to support volunteers and teachers (on-line information section on the programme, preparation of class lesson, development of community of JA volunteers and teachers);
  • development of JALab learning labs, including a free workshop for raising the awareness of young people and parents of the programme.

The three-year targets of the project were reached in full

During the emergency period due to the Coronavirus which has left thousands of people at home, the Mediobanca group and Junior Achievement Italia have joined forces to help and support families, providing them with tools to help smaller children to understand and deal with this difficult situation. In particular, we have made Family Activities accessible via a simple click, a fundamental element of the business education Crescere che Impresa! programme targeted at middle schools.
