Predstavnici UNSA-SEBS učestvovali na početnom sastanku Erasmus+ projekta Fin4Good – Obrazovni put ka primijenjenoj mikrofinansiji

Predstavnici Ekonomskog fakulteta Univerziteta u Sarajevu (UNSA-SEBS), prof. dr. Almir Peštek i doc. dr. Tea Mioković Polić, učestvovali su na početnom (Kick-off) sastanku Erasmus+ projekta “Fin4Good – Educational Pathway to Applied Microfinance”, održanom u Bolonji, Italija, 23. i 24. oktobra 2025. godine.

Sastanak, čiji je domaćin bio Univerzitet u Bolonji, okupio je sve projektne partnere kako bi razgovarali o ključnim ciljevima, planiranim aktivnostima i strategijama saradnje za uspješnu realizaciju projekta.

Erasmus+ projekat Fin4Good predstavlja važan korak ka jačanju inkluzivnih finansija, društvenih inovacija i održivog ekonomskog razvoja kroz obrazovanje i međunarodnu saradnju. Cilj projekta je razvoj inovativnog programa obuke usmjerenog na alata društvene ekonomije i mikrofinansija, koji će pružiti nove mogućnosti ekonomskog osnaživanja osobama širom svijeta koje nemaju pristup tradicionalnim finansijskim uslugama.

Posebnost ovog projekta je naglazak na gamifikaciji kao metodi poučavanja, koja omogućava interaktivno i angažujuće iskustvo učenja te povezuje teoriju s praksom.
