One of our aims is to improve education of financial literacy on schools. For this purpose we created a course “How to teach financial literacy attractively and enjoyably”, which is accredited by Czech Ministry of Education and which participated by more than 300 schools in last year.
The course takes 4 hours and its main goal is to demonstrate to participants how to teach financial literacy practically and enjoyably. A few comments of the participants of the course:
„There are only a few seminars really beneficial both for my classworks and me personally. This is one of them.”
Petr Werner, Třeboň
„The biggest contribution of this course for me personally is the fact it saved my time. It provides complex information, all in one place, which cannot be find elsewhere. It would take me ages to gather them all. Little push, big impact."
Ondřej Chobot, Kolín
„Financial literacy explained in enjoyable way. Illustrative examples will definitely help me both at classworks and in my own financial situation too“.
Alena Hořavová, Javorník
In addition, participants of the course can get 40 methodical guidelines for different topics on personal finance, which ease them education of financial literacy. Moreover, teachers can attend Correspondence course of hard skills and after passing it they have profound knowledge in the field of personal finance.
And above all, a board game FAMILY FINANCE is the most suitable tool for education of the financial literacy.
A few testimonials for the game:
"The Family Finance game is both entertaining and engaging to play. Far more important than its entertainment value are the lessons it teaches. It is amazingly accurate in it's depiction of the real life consequences both good and bad of the economic choices made by the player over thein respektive game/life chronology. The game is a brilliant solution to a tremendous and fundamental global educational need. Accordingly I believe it to have significant social and commercial potential in the US
and abroad."
Barry Knight, President, Next Financial, United States

"Financial education is sorely needed. Unfortunately, it still does not have a place in most school curriculums and, given tight school-district budgets, is unlikely to be added to students' course options anytime soon.
So it falls to the private sector to educate students-- and adults, for that matter, who also, to their great risk, often lack in financial literacy. The Family Finances game is really a game in name only. In fact, it is a wonderful tool for helping people arrive at a better understanding of their personal finances and the whole subject of money in general. It would be wonderful if the game became popular, as all by itself it could make an important contribution to social well-being."
John Carey, portfolio manager, Pioneer Fund, United States
