At the same time, schools, families and communities continue to navigate significant social and economic pressures.This event provides an opportunity to explore what financial education currently looks like across Northern Ireland, where strengths already exist, what support may be needed in the future, and how local experiences can inform wider UK conversations about preparing children and young people for life, work and financial wellbeing.By bringing together diverse voices from across education and the wider community, we hope to build a richer understanding of what good financial education could look like by 2028.Insights gathered in Belfast will contribute to a wider UK-wide programme of listening and research, helping ensure Northern Irish perspectives are reflected in future conversations about curriculum, financial wellbeing and life readiness across all four nations.Who Should Attend?We warmly encourage participation from:Teachers and teaching assistants from across all phasesSchool and college leadersCareers teachers, employability leads and Learning for Life and Work (LLW) coordinatorsSEND and inclusion practitionersParents and carersCommunity organisationsYouth and family support servicesAnyone passionate about improving life chances for children and young peopleThe more diverse the voices in the room, the stronger and more meaningful the conversation will be!
