We inaugurate the virtual exhibition "Learning to save: teaching how to save, the source of financial education'. This is Spain's first virtual exhibition on saving, organised as part of CECA's 90th anniversary with the aim of showcasing CECA's historic archive.
The exhibition is part of a month dedicated to financial culture, which commences with the celebration of Financial Education Day and ends on World Savings Day, which is being commemorated today around the world thanks to the World Savings and Retail Banking Institute (WSBI). For all these reasons, the exhibition we are inaugurating is a tribute to savings, for its contribution to development, and because it is considered one of the best practices in helping people develop and reach their goals and secure a decent future. The exhibition also represents a story, one exploring how teaching about savings has evolved into financial education.
The exhibition is divided into four rooms: Savings, The teaching of savings, The promotion of savings, and Financial education, in which documents from CECA's Historic Archive have moved from the confines of the depositary to a public virtual space - the exhibition -, a space for education, history, culture, even for leisure and, most importantly, bringing them closer to the general public. The exhibition features around one hundred documents, selected from among many others: brochures, posters, notebooks, cards, music, and press clippings, as well as money boxes, audio, adverts, and animated gifs created especially for the occasion. The documents and objects all have detailed explanatory descriptions. The last room, dedicated to financial education, provides information on international initiatives, showcases financial education in Spain thanks to the Finance for All programme, and explains the international collaborations and national initiatives conducted by the CECA sector in this field, including the Funcas Educates programme.
