The interaction with the My Financial Mission project volunteer was extremely valuable. His pro-
fessionalism, openness and commitment gave us a practical insight into the business world and
inspired us to believe in our own ideas. He managed to turn theory into life lessons and his support
motivated us to be braver and better prepared for the future.

The Smart Credits activity carried out with 10th grade students focused on understanding the
importance of planning a personal budget to make medium and long term spending forecasts. Stu-
dents could see that they had different views on the amounts of money spent on utilities or personal
development and realized that there are differences in living standards. Also, the issue of respon-
sible personal budget planning, as well as the advice they received on investments and emergency
funds made them think more seriously about when they will become financially independent.
Teacher, Nicolae Grigorescu National College, Campina, Prahova
The Smart Credits webinar was well structured, interactive and full of useful information. I liked the
clear explanations and the concrete examples given. It offered me a new perspective on finances
and I really enjoyed the Q&A session that the volunteer included in the meeting.

The experience of implementing the Personal Finance program at the Malaxa Technological High
School in Zarnesti was a very successful one, with a real impact on the participants. Students had
the opportunity to learn about responsible money management, saving, investing and the use of
modern financial instruments, through a practical and interactive approach. The volunteer added
value to the educational sessions by providing practical examples from their professional experi-
ence, which made it easier to understand financial concepts. Students engaged fully in the discus-
sions and activities, showing great interest in the topics covered. Communication with the volunteer
was excellent.
