Let's talk about money.
In every culture or social setting money has a different meaning and is valued and treated in different ways. Furthermore, the rules of organizing your private finances are manifold.
Many newcomers in Germany are confronted with the challenge of re-organizing their financial existence. There might be the need to adapt and learn new and unfamiliar ways of handling money. Especially for people who have lost their social network of friends and family who used to act as a support in emergency situations.
On request we organize educational workshops and training courses in which we deal with everyday handling of money for newcomers and people in fragile economic situations to improve their skills to deal with potential fraud or financial traps.
But especially we foster constant questioning and the formation of a free an indpendent opinion. With the participants we exchange our approaches to budgeting, discuss challenges and motivate towards a more sustainable handling of money.
We are happy to share our knowledge and offer our workshops to other groups of interest. Get in touch!
