Global Money Week will be March 10th - March 17th 2014!! I am so thrilled as Mrs. Midwest International to be taking part in this Global Event!! Be watching for events coming up!

Global Money Week is a worldwide celebration to empower the next generation to be confident, responsible and skilled economic citizens. Every year, during the second week of March, young people around the globe talk, play, create, sing, read, discuss and learn about saving, money, changing economic systems and building a financial future for youth. It is about joining together – children, youth, parents, organizations and entire communities - to start action to reshape finance, and give young people the tools to shape their own future.

The Momentum starts in March
The celebration of Global Money Week takes place every year during the second week of March. This initiative is coordinated by the Child and Youth Finance International Secretariat. The celebrations of 2013 involved 80 countries and around 400 organizations. The celebrations of 2014 will take place between 10 March and 17 March 2014. During this week various worldwide activities will be held to engage children, youth and their communities to learn how money works, including saving, creating livelihoods, gaining employment, and becoming an entrepreneur. The week brings the world one step closer to ensuring that every child will have access to financial services, financial awareness through education, a reliable source of income, and the will to save.
Youth take action to Reshape Finance
During Global Money Week one of the most important themes flowing through all the activities is the active involvement of youth. We want to make sure that their opinions are heard so they can be a part of the changes for their future- the decision makers of tomorrow need to be a part of the policy discussions of today! The aim of Global Money Week is to encourage youth to share their ideas – but also to elevate these ideas and motivate action. The celebrations are concentrated in one week, but the impact of the ideas and lessons during this week will have long-lasting impact and bring about action.
Together we start the action towards Reshaping Finance and make sure that every child grow up to be empowered and equipped to gain employment, make wise financial decisions and understand their
