PwC Cyprus and the PwC Foundation supported Global Money Week 2026 by implementing an educational programme titled “Financial Literacy” for the fourth consecutive year across schools in Cyprus.

According to an official announcement, the initiative was carried out with the support of Junior Achievement Cyprus and the Education Ministry, reflecting closer collaboration between the private sector and public institutions.

This year’s Global Money Week theme, “Smart Money Talks”, underscored the importance of encouraging young people to openly discuss financial matters and seek guidance from trusted and knowledgeable sources.

Through education and dialogue, the initiative aimed at strengthening young people’s confidence in managing their finances responsibly and making informed decisions in an increasingly complex financial environment.

Within this framework, 13 mentors from PwC Cyprus volunteered their time and expertise to deliver a structured educational experience to students.

The mentors conducted a 90-minute educational programme for primary and secondary students, focusing on both theoretical and practical aspects of financial literacy.

Students were introduced to fundamental financial concepts and practical money management skills, helping them better understand the importance of responsible spending, saving, planning and decision-making.

The programme was implemented nationwide, reaching 10 schools, 28 classrooms and almost 300 students across Cyprus, including participants from primary schools, high schools and lyceums.

The initiative forms part of the “Education and Culture” pillar of the PwC Foundation, which is one of its three core areas of focus, the company explained.

Through this pillar, it added, the organisation supports initiatives that promote learning, personal development and social progress within local communities.

Konstantina Logotheti, Director of the PwC Foundation, stated that “building financial literacy from a young age is a key pillar in developing responsible and informed citizens“.

“Initiatives such as Global Money Week meaningfully empower young people while supporting the local community,” she added.
