E+NTREPRENEURIAL YOUth | Go To Market Strategy Part 3

PEOPLE+ | How would the “Save our money” project help my education?

Currently I am a Finance student in the University of National and World Economy. Finance is not only administrative work. It requires logical thinking in order to know how to manage the resources or in other words – the money.

In some of our classes we have practice lessons, projects and so on, most of them are in order to learn strategies how to manage the money – of our clients and our own. It is important to know that the key to save money is not only to put an amount aside every month, but to know how to spend properly and what for. A simple way of thinking.

Having money put aside is like a monthly subscription. It is stressful as before your salary you start counting what you have to buy, how much it is going to cost you and the money you will be able to “save”. For me, it got easier when I learnt how to spend my money properly and have what I want without having to worry.

As one of the jobs I will be able to practice is “Financial adviser” either for a small or big business or even a private adviser, the project would be helpful as there are certain tactics that can be used for all type of clients.

In addition, I would say that the main way of thinking should be not how to spend less, but how to earn more.

YE Save our money in Mezobereny, Hungary

LIFE+ | YE “Save our money” @ Mezobereny, Hungary

The youth exchange took place from 9 to 18 September 2019 in Mezobereny, Hungary on the topic "Save our money". Participants from four countries from Europe participated in the project – from Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Lithuania. The project aimed for each participant to learn how to distribute, save and invest their personal funds properly. But this project gave each participant much more. Each person has made new friends, positive emotions and indescribable experiences. Everyone improved their English, presentation and speaking skills in front of large audience. We also learned how to work in a team and to distribute all of the tasks and duties.

There were also international evenings and all of us had to present our countries, to tell more about them, to show how they differs from other countries in Europe. This event showed the specific culture of each country, their dances, traditions and customs, as well as their specific food and drinks. The whole project was all fun and useful because all the participants worked in teams and learned new lessons and tips, under the form of games (non-formal learning) that would be needed for their future development.

Each participant had a secret friend, chosen at random, to whom he wrote secret letters and received great gifts. It was very exciting because each of the participants felt special and that made even deeper and more real friendships.

One of the days, all the participants visited the town of Békéscsaba and each of them had many fun tasks. One of them was to get to know the locals, tell them more about the Erasmus + programme, take pictures with them and learn new phrases in Hungarian.

The projects of the Erasmus+ programme are worth it because they remain you unforgettable memories, great lifelong friendships and emotions that cannot be described in words but must be felt! Participate, it's really worth it!
