The themed tours at a glance

Poverty in old age is female

For young women aged 16 and over.

In Austria, women receive 43 percent less pension than men. This tour focuses on the consequences of part-time work and the risk of poverty in old age due to a lack of working years. The aim is to raise awareness and develop prevention strategies.

Work and income

A tour for young adults aged 16 and over who are not in the traditional school system. It aims to emphasize that completing school or vocational training is essential for the rest of their lives. Questions such as “Why should I work at all?” or “How will better education affect my life or my pension?” are addressed.

Debts

A tour for pupils from the 9th grade onwards, which aims to get to the bottom of the various causes of debt among young people. The most important warning signs and professional contact points are presented. This contributes to the fight against youth debt in Austria.

Investment & Capital Market

A tour for students in grades 11/12 and above that requires a sound knowledge of finance. Basic knowledge about shares, bonds and investment funds is imparted. The capital market is presented as an alternative provision and its opportunities and risks for investors are highlighted.

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 FLiP has a modular structure. Each station has its own didactic and thematic focus. 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 world economy.
