Why taking a course with us?
Current issues such as central bank policy, inflation, deflation, working conditions, digitalisation, and others can be highly controversial. This also applies to questions about the financial system, the climate crisis, the gap between rich and poor, the future of labour and various economic “schools”. We discuss different perspectives, so that you can form your own opinion.
- We know too little about economics.
Economics determines all our lives. It also shapes the wellbeing of entire societies. Understanding economic issues provides orientation and helps with everyday decisions.
- We need economic knowledge to shape a sustainable and socially just future.
We live in a world of crises and upheavals. That is why we need everyone’s ideas to enable an economy that is good for people, society and nature.
- Democracy needs informed citizens.
Those who understand the connections are not so easily fooled.

About Us
This learning platform results from a three year’s cooperation between adult educators – trainers, researchers – from seven countries in Europe. Our aim is to foster an understanding of what economy is and to discuss various perspectives on both economic developments and economics itself. Find out more about our group on the project website.
