The Central Bank of Russia reported that participants at the 12th All-Russian Congress of Financial Education Volunteers presented completed projects that use games, fairy tales, quizzes and other interactive formats instead of traditional lectures, tests and seminars. The projects are intended for rollout across different target groups and regions, with the aim of making financial issues easier to engage with while promoting responsible behaviour and sound decision-making. Examples included an audio fairy tale series on insurance for primary school children, an All-Russian financial education marathon for people with disabilities including special military operation veterans, and two projects focused on fraud prevention. One anti-fraud initiative uses a quiz on money muling built around real scam tactics, while another adapts the role-playing game Mafia to help participants identify fraud techniques. Governor Elvira Nabiullina said game-based formats are particularly useful for lowering barriers to financial literacy and building trust through direct communication. The register of the Financial Literacy Development Association now includes more than 16,000 financial education volunteers across Russia.
