Guest speaker: Johanne Amestonn: Director of Cooperative Strategy, Training and RSE

The (internal) perception of the Cooperative business model : The results of FNBP’s thorough survey with nearly 9000 employees from the 14 Banques Populaires by FNBP (France)

The cooperative model is at the heart of the Banques Populaires, and the members are its pillars. Since 1878, the bank’s leaders and employees embody and carry this model, at the service of our members and customers.

A first cooperative survey, carried out in the beginning of 2023, was intended for all employees of the 14 Popular Banks. Nearly 9000 answers and more than 23 000 verbatims gave us a better idea of the understanding and attachment of Banques Populaires employees to this model.

The survey also enabled us to adapt the training and information programs they ask for, in addition to the roadmap formalized by the leaders of the popular banks cooperative dynamic. The principle remains to go further together: “add strengths and multiply chances”, more than ever.

Financial Education : Comparing Cases in Brazil and France

According to OECD, “Financial literacy can contribute to global economic growth and sustainable development by improving financial inclusion and well-being”.

In France, Finances & Pédagogie has the main objective to provide training programmes on financial literacy. With an experience of more than 70 years, it plays a major action in France delivering workshops on a large range of topics such as household budgeting, banking relations, consumer credit, savings, and others to all kinds of people from students to the retired, from workers to entrepreneurs, from social workers to teachers.

In Brazil, Financial Education is a topic of Public Politics. Financial Education is a transversal discipline of Brazilian regular schools, specifically for children from 6 to 14 years old. Therefore, Sicoob has launched a program called “Financinhas nas Escolas” to support teachers to introduce Financial Education at regular schools, including a Children’s Book Collection published by Sicoob Institute in Portuguese, Pomeranian, English, and Spanish.

Data - The Fuel of Digital (France)

We have been talking a lot since 2017 about digital transformation. It is also very often said that there is no longer a Business without digital, but less often it is said that there is no Digital without Data!

So, why is data important for Digital?
Why is it crucial to invest in the subject of data?
How to make the right technological choices?
How to increase the skills of our teams?
Where to start ?

2021

Guest speaker: André Comte Sponville: French Humanist philosopher and writer

Be happy because it is good for your health! Health and Economy: Lessons from a pandemic (France)

One of the vital characteristics of the CIBP LINK training programme is to think out of the box and to see the world through fresh eyes, other than the banking scope. On this occasion, we want to take a step back and think about the value of Love of Life versus the value of the Fear of Death. The job of a banker requires to understand in order to try to predict because investing is knowing how to plan for the future and to take into account the social, moral and political context in which the economy and finance operate. This year of pandemic invites us to think about the sanitary and political conditions in which our prosperity is developing. The question remains “How to create the connection between Love, Generosity, Solidarity, Communion, four values / ways of living together in a disruptive world“?
