The Commission wants to hear from you
The European Commission would like to hear from young Europeans. As part of this effort, Maria Luís Albuquerque, Commissioner for Financial Services and the Savings and Investments Union, is hosting a 2-hour conversation with young people from the European Union.
The topic of the dialogue will be money management skills. We want to hear your views about the knowledge and tools that young Europeans need to take charge of their financial future, and how we can better support the learning of these skills. Your ideas will feed into the Commission’s ongoing efforts to promote financial literacy in the EU, in line with its strategy adopted in September 2025.

How you can participate
If you would like to take part – and you are a European citizen aged 18 to 30 – you just need to submit a short video (up to 1 minute) addressing the following question: Why do you think it’s important for young people to learn about money?
The video doesn’t need to be professionally produced – a simple recording of yourself is fine.
We look forward to receiving your videos
