Financial education from the age of 10

The topic of money and finances has different meanings in the lives of children, young people and adults. In order to respond to individual questions and age-specific expectations, FLiP offers tours for three age groups.

Detectives

4th to 8th grade (10 to 14 years)

The starting point for the detectives’ tour is a search for clues in the world of adults, the economy and society. Visitors learn why money exists and consider how they would spend and save it. Simple economic examples are used to make connections understandable.

Explorers

9th to 12th grade (15 to 18 years)

The explorers already have little prior knowledge. At the beginning of the tour, they slip into the role of a 19-year-old and have to overcome the financial challenges of everyday life. It is shown that our wishes can often only be realized with the right financial decisions.

Expert:inside

Experts already have a certain level of economic knowledge. At the beginning of the tour, they are assigned the role of an adult. The different life situations – single, couple or family with children – illustrate the diversity of society and highlight the different scope for action in budget planning.

The FLiP Tour is a “learning trail” made up of individual modules that visitors complete.
The sequence of stations can be combined depending on requirements and topics.

Modules

Prologue

FLiP tours begin with an introduction to the topic of money. What role does money play for society and for the individual? Why does it make sense to deal with money? Visitors also receive their wallets, specially configured tablets that serve as navigation and input devices.

Configurator

While the detectives think about the monthly expenses of adults, the explorers and experts take on different roles. The task is to allocate a fictitious budget corresponding to their role to the seven most important spending groups. Statistical data is then used to determine how realistic the group's budget planning was.

Konfigurator

Während sich die Detektiv:innen Gedanken über die monatlichen Ausgaben der Erwachsenen machen, schlüpfen Entdecker:innen und Expert:innen in unterschiedliche Rollen. Es gilt, ein der Rolle entsprechendes, fiktives Budget auf die sieben wichtigsten Ausgabengruppen zu verteilen. Anhand von statistischen Daten wird im Anschluss ermittelt, wie realitätsnah die Budgetplanung der Gruppe war.

Reality Check

In three small groups, visitors answer questions about money and finances on our ergometers. Tasks appear on the athletes' wallets, which must be mastered with the help of the team. If the questions are answered correctly, the resistance of the fitness machine is reduced.

Safe

In a former bank vault, visitors are confronted with the question of the value of an object. Depending on price, use and emotional attachment, visitors have to determine the value of a wide variety of objects. It quickly becomes clear that price and value are not the same thing and that objects can have different values.

Opinion forum

The opinion forum shows how important it is to form a comprehensive opinion on financial and economic issues. This is not about right or wrong, but about showing how important it is to obtain information in order to form your own opinion.

Getting Global

Visitors can follow the journey of an everyday product around the world on a globe of monitors. They circle the globe and learn about global connections, dependencies and economic influencing factors. Visitors recognize that their actions and decisions in a globalized world have consequences for people in other parts of the world.

Wrap-Up

The wrap-up at the end of the tour provides space to discuss any unanswered questions. The facilitators summarize the content, interpret the results and moderate the collaborative exchange.

Wrap-Up

Das Wrap-Up am Ende der Tour bietet Raum, um offen gebliebene Fragen zu diskutieren. Die Vermittler:innen fassen die Inhalte zusammen, interpretieren die Ergebnisse und moderieren den gemeinschaftlichen Austausch.

Zusätzliche Module

Arena

Coming soon

Sparbehelfs­sammlung

Im Eingangsbereich wird eine Auswahl historischer Sparbehelfe aus der Sammlung der Erste Bank präsentiert. In Kombination mit kurzen Texten zur Geschichte des Sparens und Zitaten berühmter Personen zum Thema Geld werden die Besucher:innen auf ansprechende Weise empfangen.

Wissensspeicher

Der Wissensspeicher ist das inhaltliche Rückgrat des FLiP: Hier können die Themen, die im Laufe der Tour angeschnitten wurden, vertieft werden. Sowohl die Exponate als auch die Grafikdots des Wissensspeichers können mit dem Wallet gescannt und der Inhalt auf den Wallets gelesen werden.

Switching pillars

Knowledge mediators

The knowledge mediators guide the group through the FLiP. As the driving force behind the action, they pull the red thread through the sequence of stations, activate the necessary elements, explain the process and summarize the results of the “learning trail”.

Wallet

The Wallet, a tablet, serves as a personal companion and input tool. Visitors can use it to solve tasks at the stations. The wallet represents the connection between the content, the facilitators and the group.

Stations

The starting point for each tour is the individual and their personal financial life. As the tour progresses, the perspective expands and finally ends with a critical look at the global economy.
