History of World Savings Day
This is not a new idea.
In 1929 leaders in the European banking industry met in Milan,
Italy, at a banking conference. The purpose of this meeting was
to generate awareness of how important it was to save money for
the future.
The goal was to educate young adults and children
about the importance of saving. Eighty years later the program
still exists. In Germany the event is called Weltspartag (World
Savings Day), and it occurs usually in late October and lasts
usually a whole week.
During Weltspartag banks and savings institutions
promote savings. They offer incentives to open accounts and savings
programs. Children and young people who open accounts are given
official savings pass books, so they can watch their savings grow.
The event could be considered a win, win. Children get to learn
how to save their money, and parents learn to support their children
in this process, offering encouragement.
Bright Performance aims to initiate interest
