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.
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.
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.
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.
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”.
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.
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.
The FLiP attaches great importance to accessibility and wants to be accessible to everyone. To this end, we offer various services for people with disabilities.
All areas are wheelchair-accessible and can be reached via an elevator. We cater to the different target groups and also offer appropriate operating aids, such as larger wallets, high contrast settings and mobile inductive hearing systems.
To enable us to offer you a tailor-made tour, please provide us with the relevant details when registering online.
Online registration is essential for school classes and groups due to the high demand.
Although it is not necessary for students to have any prior knowledge, they do need to be able to read and do arithmetic. Extensive material is available on our website for preparation and follow-up in class.
Please plan enough time for the arrival and departure as well as the two-hour tour in the FLiP and arrive on time with your group.
If you are unable to keep a booked appointment, please let us know a week in advance if possible.
Does your class or group have special needs? Please indicate in our online registration form what assistance you need so that the FLiP knowledge mediators can respond to you in the best possible way.
We look forward to welcoming you to the FLiP. In order to provide all visitors with an exciting and varied experience, certain rules apply. These apply to all visitors and are for your safety.
Please arrive 15 minutes before the start of the tour.
