OUR core programmes
Aflatoun International manages programmes that are based on four main curricula: AflaTot, AflaToun, AflaTeen and AflaYouth. Partners are encouraged to further adapt these, either to fit local circumstances or to complement their existing programmes. Regional and national versions of our curricula have been created in 45 languages and have been adapted to complement programmes on issues as diverse as girls’ empowerment, environmental education, peacebuilding, and disabled learners.
Our Core Curricula
In AflaTot, children aged 3 to 6 are immersed in a curriculum designed to instill social and financial literacy from an early age. This Early Childhood Education for Sustainable Development curriculum introduces children to the basics of saving, spending, and resource management through everyday activities. Additionally, they develop crucial skills such as patience, sharing, decision-making, goal-setting, delayed gratification, and self-control. We believe that children, regardless of background, are capable learners who thrive when supported by adult guidance.

AflaToun’s core programme nurtures children’s curiosity and fosters positive associations with themes like children’s rights, saving, and entrepreneurship. Central to this is the formation of children’s clubs, where they collaborate, manage savings, and undertake small businesses and community projects.
AflaToun’s programme has been designed to be adaptable and contextualised to address the needs of children, particularly the most vulnerable, in formal and non-formal settings and equip them with relevant and essential skills for their integral development.
