During the tour, participants work together to explore everyday financial topics such as the income and expenses of an average household in Austria, the differences between price and value, and global economic interconnections. The tour, led by educational facilitators, is adapted to different difficulty levels depending on the participants’ ages. The program is designed for school classes of all types with students aged 10 and older. Group sizes should range from a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 32 people.
