Volksbank Eurowijs

Eurowijs, initiative of de Volksbank, celebrates fifth-year anniversary

Eurowijs initiator Hilde Krens today opened trading on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange to celebrate its 5-year anniversary. She is joined by six students from primary and secondary schools. Eurowijs teaches children in primary and secondary school ‘how to deal with money’.

One out of three primary schools is already using their teaching material and method, thereby reaching more than 220,000 students, of which almost ten percent is located in Amsterdam. Eurowijs is an initiative of de Volksbank and has been developed to teach primary and secondary school students of all ages how to deal with money.

Children are taught how to save, spend and count with the euro in a playful way.
