The Currency of Listening
Voices in Milton Keynes shaping the future of financial education
Hosted by Santander UK, Twinkl and the Foundation for Education Development (FED)
Help Shape the Future of Financial Education
Across the UK, conversations about curriculum, assessment, inclusion and life readiness are growing louder. As the national Curriculum and Assessment Review continues, important questions are being asked about how well education prepares children and young people for modern life — including financial wellbeing, confidence and life readiness.
The Currency of Listening is a UK-wide listening programme bringing together teachers, school and college leaders, parents, practitioners, communities and young people to explore the realities of financial education in practice.
Rather than arriving with predetermined answers, this event is about listening first:
understanding lived experience;
exploring challenges and opportunities;
identifying what is working well;
and helping ensure future curriculum, policy and support are grounded in real-world need.
