Right in the heart of Linz city centre, a place has been created where financial education doesn’t sound like dry theory, but becomes an experience. The new FLiP (Financial Life Park) in the Linzerie invites children and young people to explore the world of money in a fun and interactive way. The project is backed by Sparkasse Oberösterreich, which aims to make a significant contribution to the financial education of young people. The aim is to convey the knowledge that is actually needed in everyday life in a way that is understandable, interactive and practical.

Hands-on financial literacy

How is money created? Why is saving important? What does it mean to take out a loan? And how do financial decisions affect your own life? Questions like these are at the heart of the new educational programme. Across an area of around 500 square metres, visitors can explore various stations where they can get hands-on. Instead of traditional lectures, there are interactive games, digital applications and exciting challenges that bring financial concepts to life.

Learning for life

Financial education is becoming increasingly important. Whether it’s online shopping, a mobile phone contract or your first home, many decisions have financial implications. Young people should learn early on to better assess opportunities and risks and to handle money responsibly. With the Flip, Sparkasse Oberösterreich is creating a space where young people can acquire important skills for their future. The programme is aimed primarily at school classes and is free to use.

A new learning hub for Linz

With its location in the Linzerie, Linz is gaining an innovative learning space that combines education with hands-on experience. The modern design and interactive content show that financial education today can be so much more than just numbers and formulas. #schongenial.

It's nice to see so many positive things:
