FLiP2Go
What is FLiP2Go?
On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the founding of the “Erste österreichische Spar-Casse”, the predecessor of today’s Erste Group, FLiP2Go is making a sustainable contribution to financial education in Austria under the patronage of Erste Bank and the regional savings banks.
The 100-minute tours on offer are aimed at:
- 10- to 14-year-olds
- 15-year-olds and older
The content is only available in German.
FLiP2Go stations
Knowledge is imparted in the FLiP2Go bus in seven station booths, in the center of which a touchscreen is positioned more or less as a table. Each station lasts 12 minutes, after which the visitors move on one station at a time.
WerteKoffer
Visitors are invited to go on a trip that will make them realise that one and the same thing may have different values, depending on the situation. At the end, they will have learned that price is not the only determinant of an object’s value.
WeltReise
Global economic relations, dependencies and other economic impact factors are illustrated using examples of specific products, including jeans, tablet computers and coffee. The visitors see that their decisions as consumers have far-reaching effects in the globalised economy, and they learn about the complexity of global supply chains.
AusgabenCheck
What items do people in Austria spend the most money on? How do I plan a budget? Visitors come to understand that forward planning of expenses makes sense, and that a personal budget is important. They learn about the average cost of housing, food, mobility and other budget items.
Job-O-Mat
Visitors state their preferences by answering a set of questions at the start of the game. Five jobs that tie in with these preferences are then presented. By changing parameters such as training, income and working conditions, new job proposals are generated. The game shows which qualifications are required for which jobs, and how education affects income development.
MarktHandel
The visitors start out by buying fruit and vegetables at a wholesale market. They then have to set resale prices and offer their wares to customers in a retail market. The game illustrates how supply and demand determine prices.
FinanzDuell
In a race, visitors have to work in teams to answer questions about banking, the stock market and housing. If a team answers correctly, it gains speed. If the answer is wrong, the speed is reduced. The first team to reach the finish line wins the game.
GeldLabyrinth
Together, the visitors navigate through a labyrinth. While a monster is hot on their heels, various objects have to be collected. Each object contains a short video sequence. Depending on the target group, the history of money or the creation of money by commercial banks is explained here.
How does FLiP2Go get to me?
FLiP2Go is aimed at both school classes and individual visitors. The bus can be parked in front of schools and in public places. Erste Bank and the regional savings banks are responsible for coordinating the dates.
