Danuta Isler takes a look at Polish children and their knowledge of the economy with Katarzyna Muzyka, a representative of the Czepczynski Family Foundation, which partnered with UNICEF Polska in a project aimed at children called the "ABC of economy".  

"The thing is that children think about money in terms of their pleasures. They want money to buy a toy or an ice cream and that's it. They don't have a clue about saving money so this is important: to show them that money comes from the work of their parents… and doesn't come out of an ATM," Katarzyna Muzyka told Radio Poland.
