Our Focus Tours at a glance

Poverty in Later Life 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 insufficient years of employment. The aim is to raise awareness and develop preventative strategies.

Work and Income

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

Debt

A tour for pupils from the 9th grade onwards, which aims to explore the various causes of debt among young people. The key warning signs and professional support services are presented. It contributes to tackling youth debt in Austria.

Investment & Capital Market

A tour for students from grades 11/12 that requires a solid level of financial literacy. It covers the basics of shares, bonds and investment funds. The capital market is introduced as an alternative form of provision, highlighting its opportunities and risks for investors.

Educators

The educators guide the group through FLiP. As the driving force behind the experience, they provide a coherent narrative as they move from station to station, activate the required elements, explain the process, and summarise 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 is the connection between the content, the educators, 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.

Accessibility

Accessibility is very important to FLiP. Therefore, we offer a range of services for people with disabilities so that everyone can fully experience FLiP.

All areas are wheelchair accessible and can be reached via a lift. We cater to different target groups and also offer appropriate assistive aids, such as larger wallets, high-contrast settings and mobile inductive hearing loop systems.

Tips for your visit

Step 1

Due to high demand, online registration is mandatory for school classes and groups.

Step 3

Please allow sufficient time for your arrival and departure as well as the two-hour tour at FLiP, and make sure you arrive on time with your group.

Step 4

If you are unable to keep your booking, please let us know at least a week in advance where possible.

Step 5

Does your class or group require any additional support? Please let us know in our online registration form what you need so that our FLiP educators can support you and your class or group in the best possible way.
