The Aflatoun Programme

The Aflatoun programme is built on the core principles of Child Social & Financial Education. The Aflatoun teaching methodology encourages “learning by doing”. Through fun games, activities, songs and workbooks, children are encouraged to take an active role in the learning process. This includes school-wide savings clubs, financial and social enterprises, and group activities within the community.

Our Network of partners from the social, corporate and governmental sectors work together to ensure that the Aflatoun programme is implemented and supported at a local level, in both schools and non-formal educational settings. Our partners ensure that the materials are contextualised and adapted to meet local requirements, so that the Aflatoun message can be passed on to all children, everywhere.

Aflatoun is a little fireball from outer space. Children who first participated in the programme in India chose the name Aflatoun and the character, based on a Bollywood movie they liked. It is this unifying character that all brings together all the Aflatoun children around the world; children are happy to know that this character is friends with their counterparts around the world.

The Aflatoun Curriculum is typically encapsulated in eight workbooks. More information on the Aflatoun workbooks can be found here.
