The current article describes a training in financial education, "Nulla osta per una progetta-zione consapevole", proposed to a prisoners population which, through an interactive method-ology and the use of a board game (Proj€tto), aims to increase prisoners’ awareness in plan-ning their future working activity, promoting the self-assessment and self-monitoring of the feasibility conditions of their own future project. The article also presents a synthetic descrip-tion of the first edition of this training in the male section of Prison of Bollate (Milan) and re-flections emerged from it.
Keywords: Prisoners; economic education; financial education; planning skills; Projetto; game.
