Stations on the Flip2Go bus

What is FLiP2Go?

To mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of the “Erste österreichische Spar-Casse” (First Austrian Savings Bank), the predecessor of today’s Erste Group, FLiP2Go – under the patronage of Erste Bank and the regional savings banks – is making a substantial contribution to financial education in Austria.

The 100-minute tours we offer are aimed at:

  • 10- to 14-year-olds
  • 15-year-olds and above

Please note that FLiP2Go is only available in German.

FLiP2Go learning stations

In seven learning stations, visitors deepen their financial knowledge. Each of the seven booths in the FLiP2Go bus is equipped with a table-like touchscreen. After an activity has finished, each group moves on to the next station. Each activity lasts 12 minutes.

Flip2Go value case

In this station, visitors go on a journey that will make them realise that the value of an object can change, depending on the situation. In the end, they learn that an object’s price does not necessarily determine its value.

Flip2Go world tour
Using examples such as jeans, tablets and coffee, this station highlights global interrelationships, dependencies and influencing factors. Visitors discover the impact of their own consumer choices in a globalised world and gain insight into the complexity of global supply chains.
Flip2Go expense check
What do people in Austria spend the most money on every month? How do I plan a budget? Visitors come to understand that the importance of planning their expenses. They learn about the average cost of housing, food, mobility and other expense categories.
Flip2Go job o mat
Visitors enter their preferences by answering a set of questions at the start of the game. Five jobs that best match these preferences are then presented. By changing parameters such as training, income, and working conditions, new career suggestions are generated. The game shows which qualifications are required for which jobs, and how education affects future earnings.
Flip2Go market trade

The visitors start by buying fruit and vegetables at a wholesale market. They then have to set their own selling prices and offer their goods to customers at the market. The game illustrates how supply and demand shape prices.

Flip2Go finance battle
In teams, the visitors take part in a race by answering questions relating to banking, financial markets and housing. Teams accelerate when they give correct answers and are slowed down by wrong ones. The team to reach the finishing line first wins.
Flip2Go money maze
Together, the visitors navigate through a maze. With a monster on their heels, visitors have to collect various objects. Every object contains a short video sequence. Depending on the target group, visitors learn either about the history of money or about money creation by commercial banks.

How does FLiP2Go come to me?

FLiP2Go is aimed at both school classes and individual visitors. The bus can be parked in front of schools and in public spaces. Coordinating the schedule falls under the responsibility of Erste Bank and the regional savings banks.
