Dolceta online consumer education: development of the financial education module in Spain

Abstract

Dolceta (Development of online consumer education tool for adults) is an ongoing project involving 28 countries of the European Union, with support from the  European Commission. The main objective of this paper is to describe how the  Dolceta module on financial education was constructed in the case of the Spanish platform, how decisions related to this module were made, and the cooperation and coordination processes developed to construct the contents and activities of this module in line with the other participating European countries. Thus, we intend to describe the organization and development at the European level of a learning experience through the use of new information and communication technologies (ICT) in the fields of financial and consumer education, in order to publicize this experience and to guide other similar initiatives, especially at an early stage.
