Representatives from LF Västernorrland, Nordea, Skandia, and Swedbank joined CER for a workshop focused on the growing issue of financial illiteracy among young people. The session explored how we can work together to strengthen the financial capability of youth in the region.

The discussions led to several ideas for future research projects with a strong regional focus. Participants also proposed joint information and outreach initiatives, particularly targeting high school(gymnasium) students, as a way to improve financial awareness and preparedness from an early age.
