Lithuania is the national coordinator of Global Money Week (GMW). GMW takes place every year in March and is dedicated to children and youth of all ages. Lithuania actively participates in GMW and places a strong focus on partnership, continuously cooperating with state authorities and financial institutions, associations, schools, universities, colleges, vocational schools, training centres, libraries, kindergartens, and institutions supporting people with disabilities. Every year, a growing number of organisations take part, including about 200–270 schools approximately 20 financial institutions, associations, public bodies, and others. On average, an audience of 100,000–450,000 people is reached annually during GMW through social media and online events (webinars, podcasts, lectures, etc.). |
Since 2023, Lithuania has hosted an average of 240 various events each year during GMW, focusing on finance, saving, and money. These include discussions, quizzes, competitions, exhibitions, creative workshops, excursions, educational sessions, open days, and movie nights on financial topics, and other activities.
The Centre for Financial Literacy of Lietuvos bankas also organises a programme for each GMW. Lietuvos bankas primarily holds its events online to ensure they are accessible to people living in the regions.
