Behavioural patterns already develop in early childhood. Therefore, it is never too early to talk about money. Three Coins has developed specific formats for both primary school students and youth to take the first steps towards a sustainable money attitude.
Already at primary school age one can discuss topics related to money with children – after all, everybody has desires, fears and dreams. During our reading, we address these issues and discuss different aspects of money in an open atmosphere.
One-hour readings for children from 6 to 10 years.
The door opener for these workshops is the Serious Game CURE Runners, in which young people are given the opportunity to deal with a responsible approach to money in an unusual way. During the workshops, content from the game relating to the topics of budget, consumption and indebtedness is transferred into the lives of the young people.
2.5-hour workshops for teens from 13 to 17 years.
With the first salary, the first ideas of freedom develop – and there you are, already ensnared in consumer traps. Harmful behavioural patterns concerning money develop quickly. For appprentices, the numbers are particularly alarming: every third one has already had experience with reminders, late payments and collection in the first year of training. This is why it’s especially important to talk about money with this target group.
Our educational format for apprentices has been especially designed for the needs of the target group. It is so flexible that it can be used in a (vocational) school environment as well as directly in the company. In order to generate the greatest possible added value, we are happy to tailor it to the specific needs of your business.
To achieve the greatest impact, our program is anchored in training over the long term in a way that at the end of their training, apprentices have all the skills to lead a life without money worries – and pay attention to the financials of your business too!
A selection of our modules:
Young people grow up in a fast, digital financial and consumer reality. Status and peer pressure are particularly strong in this target group. Safe learning environments are necessary for a safe start to financial life. Youth workers speak the language of young people and support them wherever they can. Therefore, we are particularly concerned to include them as multipliers.
Our one-day workshop for youth workers shows ways to competently address sustainable attitudes towards money with young people. Youth workers receive tools to work and reflect with young people about their fears, desires, attitudes and behavioural patterns concerning money. The workshop content was developed with experts from youth and social work, debt counselling and education.
The presented content and activities can be used with little time and great flexibility. We focus on easy-to-understand rules of thumb, self-reflection and consumer awareness. The training is designed interactively – the participants can experience the effects of the presented interventions themselves. A detailed guideline facilitates the independent use of the same.
Amongst others, the following topics are covered:
Children today are growing up in an increasingly fast-paced reality. In addition, they are the target of countless advertising messages. This poses great challenges for parents: how much pocket money is appropriate? What does my child really need and how do I deal with special requests? We want to stand at your side and have developed special formats addressing the needs of parents.
A lot of parents are insecure about how to talk with their children about money in a way that’s appropriate for their age. As children learn the most within their family, that’s where they make their first steps to their financial life – therefore, the parents’ role is crucial.
To prepare parents for the numerous questions and challenges, we have developed a video series for ING in Austria.
In this workshop, we provide the perfect mix of exciting content, deep reflection and specific suggestions for action.
In 2.5 hours, you will obtain interesting background information on the development of attitudes towards money, you’ll try out lots of hands-on activities that you can easily and playfully share with your kids and you’ll have the opportunity to interact with other parents.
Money stress not only damages personal well-being but also has a negative impact on organisations, the economy and society. The consequences range from stress-related illnesses to the withdrawal from civil society of those affected. Companies play an important role as leaders and can make a difference in the area of financial literacy.
Financial literacy is one of the most important life skills of the 21st century. To promote the topic, we research, develop, evaluate and implement – preferably together with partners.
With our many years of experience in research and development in the field of financial literarcy, we support the successful implementation of projects in this area – also in your company.
As a social business, the broad impact of our formats is our top priority. That is why we are spreading our proven formats through licensing.
