As for the technical procedures for data collection, it is considered a case study, a questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument, and a didactic sequence with the workshop proposal. So, to achieve the objectives of this research, a proposal for a workshop on Financial Education and a conversation circle was prepared, thus promoting an environment of investigation for EJA students, allowing them to reflect, discuss and analyze properly the financial situations, making them able to manage money better, and encouraging young people and adults to conscientiously consume. Finally, it was concluded that in relation to the activities carried out during the application of the workshop, from everyday situations, it was possible to understand and deepen the knowledge about Financial Education, and how important it is for young people and adults.
