In 2020, our regional meetings were held online with a specific focus on post-COVID-19 and its effect on education and delivery.
We celebrated our annual Aflatoun Day, which happens on the 25th March during Global Money Week, a little differently this year through an online showcase of our students and partners.
In the lead up, we organised several calls with students to hear their perspectives on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected their lives, and how their governments can help them. Read their insights and the full statement here.
On Aflatoun Day itself, we hosted the awards ceremony of the Aflatoun Partners Resilience Challenge, highlighting outstanding stories from our partners on navigating the COVID-19 crisis and continuing to empower children and youth worldwide with social and financial education.
Despite the strains of this pandemic, Aflatoun International and our global network of partners adapted to the crisis and found creative solutions to ensure that every child and young person keeps receiving high quality social and financial education for their future empowerment.
To showcase their resilience to the challenges caused by COVID-19, our partners took part in the Aflatoun Partners Resilience Challenge! Read about the challenge here and watch their entries.
