Nina Kolchakova, Secretary General of ABZ, presented awards to distinguished participants in the national initiative “Let’s Spin the Money Carousel – Together” during an official ceremony held on 24 April at the Slavyanska Beseda Theatre. The event brought together partners and participants from across the country and marked a natural and emotional conclusion to the initiative.
As part of the initiative, during Global Money Week, children from various locations, with the support of their teachers, staged the educational theatre lesson “Money Carousel” in familiar settings—classrooms, school halls, libraries, or community centres. In this way, topics such as money, choice, and responsibility came to life through children’s voices, turning into an engaging experience for families, local communities, public authorities, and businesses. Through the simultaneous staging of the lesson nationwide, the initiative stood out as an original and inspiring Bulgarian contribution to Global Money Week.
The initiative’s success has been remarkable: nearly 2,500 children and students from over 100 locations across the country took part in more than 115 performances, reaching an audience of over 9,200 people. These are not just impressive figures—they clearly demonstrate the strength of this approach, where learning through experience and participation helps children take their first confident steps in the world of finance.
This scale was possible due to broad institutional and sectoral support. Official partners include the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Finance, the Financial Supervision Commission, and all industry organizations in the financial sector, including the Association of Bulgarian Insurers. ABZ’s support reflects the association’s consistent commitment to financial and insurance literacy and to making this knowledge accessible to children in an engaging and understandable way.
The initiative is organized by the Financial Literacy Initiative Foundation and the Education 5.0 Foundation. More information is available at www.finansovogramoten.bg.
