Aflatoun International – Child Social and Financial Education

What We Do

Building on a strong network of dedicated and passionate partners, supporters and staff, we deliver high-quality education through our unique approach.

Our programmes are based on four basic curricula for different age groups, which are flexible and can be contextualised to local needs. Additionally, we provide training to teachers and conduct research to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of our programmes.

Curricula

Aflatoun International curricula are child-centered and contain both social and financial themes. Children and young people learn about themselves, their rights and responsibilities, how to save and how to start a small enterprise.

 

Partnership & Support

The Aflatoun International network of partners is committed to deliver quality financial and life-skills education to millions of children and young people. Aflatoun International provides programmatic and fundraising support to the partners in the network.

Monitoring & Evaluation

Aflatoun International is one of the global leaders in researching the effectiveness of social and financial education for children and young people. A key strength is its positive impact on their self-efficacy, which plays an important role in successful learning.

Training Teachers

Education is only as good as the teachers providing the classes. Therefore, we are passionate about training, which helps guide teachers through methodologies that enable children to participate actively in an atmosphere that is full of learning and laughter.

Development & Contextualisation

Aflatoun International develops curricula in consultation with its partners. These materials are then adapted to the local context of the region it will be implemented in and occasionally includes an extended focus on a specific issue it aims to tackle.

Digital Learning

Aflatoun International embraces new technologies which have the potential to strengthen educational systems and increase reach and impact. Access to mobile technology is rapidly transforming our ability to reach children, young people and trainers who have been previously excluded from skills-building programmes.

FOCUS AREAS

Grounded in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and building on its strong network, Aflatoun International has an important role to play in fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals.

Children and young people become agents of their own future through our tailored education programmes, which tackle some of the world’s most pressing problems. Below is a list of ‘themes’ we incorporate into Aflatoun materials and practices.
