Me and my money
About this topic
This topic is ideally suited as an introductory module if several blocks of this curriculum are to be implemented.
By dealing with the general and above all one’s own view of the area of dealing with money, money is detached from the pure numerical value. We become aware of the extent to which money affects our lives and society.
From an early age we are shaped by the topic of money and adopt patterns and solution strategies that have a massive impact on our everyday lives.
Through conscious reflection, one’s own point of view should be made conscious and expanded.
