Financial literacy for everybody
We go through different phases in our lives. In each of these phases, we make important decisions for the future. Money often (also) plays a role in this. That’s why it’s so important to deal with the topic of money and improve your own handling of it. Here you will find our financial education formats that are relevant for all target groups.
www.geldundleben.at – AK-Infothek
In cooperation with the Chamber of Labour of Burgenland, we have implemented the “AK-Infothek”. The aim of the project is to provide all employees in Burgenland with the necessary information for a stable financial life on a compact website so that they can navigate well – even in turbulent times. Starting with the basic skills for good money management, through contact persons for subsidies and grants, to easy-to-implement tips and rules of thumb for financial well-being: AK-Infothek’s offer is diverse and intended to be easy to understand and well-structured along the phases of life.
Gut mit Geld
The free online course “Gut mit Geld” (Good with Money), accompanies participants on their personal journey towards good money management. They are given the tools they need to overcome challenges and make sound (financial) decisions. The path to better money management is divided into four modules covering the following topics
- Basics of good money management
- Tools to keep track of your own budget
- Thoughts and facts about consumption
- Reflections on personal savings goals and tips on how best to achieve them.
Brochures for women
Women face very specific challenges when it comes to their financial lives. We have therefore developed brochures on three topics in collaboration with the wendepunkt association and on behalf of the state of Lower Austria and LEA – the Austrian fund for the empowerment and support of women and girls:
- Motherhood: Money and self-determination. Staying independent as a mother (Austria) – Download here
- Motherhood: Money and self-determination. Staying independent as a mother (Focus Lower Austria) – Download here
- Partnership: Mine, yours and ours. Money in the partnership – Download here
- Retirement provision: Money in old age. Making conscious provisions – Download here
Completed projects:
Bildung & Beratung Geldleben
Bildung & Beratung Geldleben was the point of contact for all questions related to money. The project was funded by the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs and offered personal counselling as well as a wide range of educational resources. Unfortunately, the project cannot be continued. However, the existing educational materials and blog posts remain online and can still be accessed. Please note that these contents are no longer updated, but they continue to provide valuable information and insights.
Money Messenger for Money Heroines
Statistics and surveys clearly show that women face particular challenges in relation to money throughout their lives. This is why – in addition to structural changes – financial education is particularly important for women. Together with the state of Lower Austria and the wendepunkt association, we have therefore developed the Money Messenger. This programme provides the basics of financial literacy via WhatsApp, Facebook or Instagram for 6 weeks in personal messages – simple, low-threshold and interactive.
Currently, the Money Messenger ist not active. If you’re interested, please contact us at info@threecoins.org.
