On Friday, February 21, 2025, at the Trading Floor of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, we concluded the first edition of the "Academy of tomorrow. Finances with class" program. We hosted 150 guests and the winners of a competition in which willing students had a possibility to plan their financial goal and present a plan for conscious financial management for the next 10 years.
We did it! Today we finished the first edition of the program "Academy of tomorrow. Finances with class". During the meeting we hosted 150 project participants, among whom were the winners of the competition in which willing students were to plan their financial goal and present a plan for conscious financial management for the next 10 years.
The work of Agata Kolanowska from Radom made the greatest impression on the entire competition committee, and she received the Main Prize, an iPhone 16 PRO and a MacBook. The following places from 2 to 5 were taken by:
II Szymon Stankiewicz - Electronic Technical School No. 3 named after Soldiers of the Home Army "Żywiciel"
III Olga Dostatnia - CLXV High School in Warsaw
IV Wiktor Kasprzyk - CLXV High School in Warsaw
V Maja Sokołowska - Horticultural Technical School in School Complex No. 39 in Warsaw
During the final meeting, students listened to a lecture by Paweł Rygielski, one of the project's mentors, and listened to the inverview of Sylwia Kozoń, President of the XTB Foundation, and moderator Izabela Kozakiewicz, President of the Trampki na Giełdzie Foundation. The fire chat was based on questions about how people from the world of finance manage their private finances, what financial knowledge they pass on to their children, what they think about financial education in schools, what they would not invest their money in, and whether working in a financial company changes the way we think about finances.
The meeting at the WSE was also a great opportunity for direct exchange of opinions and experiences with students and teachers who accompanied them. We are proud that the program was received so enthusiastically, and we hope that the knowledge we imparted to the students will stay with them and have a real impact on how they manage their money.
Work on the second edition is underway, and workshops in schools will begin in October 2025.
