What is FLiP2Go?

On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the founding of “Erste österreichische Spar-Casse”, the predecessor of today’s Erste Group, FLiP2Go was launched, making a substantial contribution to financial education in Austria under the patronage of Erste Bank and the regional savings banks.

The 100-minute tours we offer are aimed at:

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

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.

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.

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 Flip2Go

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 Flip2Go

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.

The visitors start out by buying fruit and vegetables at a wholesale market. They then have to set resale prices and offer their goods to customers in a retail market. The game illustrates how supply and demand determine prices.

The visitors are grouped in teams and compete in a race by answering questions relating to banking, financial markets and housing. Teams become faster when they give correct answers and are slowed down by wrong ones. The team that reaches the goal first wins.
