🎓 At the University of Siena, the final conference of the GBFE project, coordinated and organised by OpenCom!
On 30 September, the University of Siena – Arezzo Campus hosted the final conference of the European project GBFE, Gender Balance in Financial Education, funded by the Erasmus+ programme and promoted by Fondazione Arezzo Innovazione.
👉 The event, coordinated and organised by OpenCom, took place as part of a lecture by Professor Claudio Melacarne, who teaches General Pedagogy at the Department of Education, Human Sciences and Intercultural Communication (DIPOSC).
The session turned the university classroom into a lively forum for dialogue between researchers, educators, institutions, the banking sector and local associations, with over 150 students attending on-site and online.
The discussion, moderated by Andrea Repek (Inedita), featured contributions from Marco Morbidelli (Fondazione Arezzo Innovazione), Erina Guraziu (OpenCom), Ursula Armstrong (Pronto Donna), Mirco Romoli (Banca Tema) and Gabriella Salvietti, a former Lebole worker, who shared reflections and experiences on how financial education can become a true driver of inclusion and gender equality. 🌍💪
