The 3A team of the Crotone Institute created the project “Alice in the land of economic sustainability” (animated stories and ebooks that take inspiration from the adventures of Alice in Wonderland) with the aim of transmitting to younger people (children and teenagers between 7 and 13 years old) the concepts of financial education acquired during “PerCorsi Young”, the financial education and culture program created by the consumer credit company of the BNP Paribas group which involved, with all its activities, over 49,000 students. The interactive e-book also includes a special section called “Explore, Play and Enjoy”. In this section, children explore and immerse themselves in content related to environmental sustainability, recycling and related economic concepts.
