Talking about money is no taboo
Three Coins is a social business that develops and implements financial literacy projects. We are convinced that increased financial skills are one of the greatest levers for handle for self-determination, equal opportunities and a healthy economy. For that reason, we want to impart financial competency to as many people as possible in a practical and impactful way. In order to achieve this goal, we work with the public hand, NGOs and private organisations.
Our offer covers consulting, workshops and format development, like amongst others e-learning tools, games and awareness campaigns.
Our formats are disseminated by digital as well as non-digital applications or by multipliers such as youth workers, trainee trainers, teachers, parents or even bank advisers to reach as many people in the target group as possible and to have the greatest impact. Behavioural and experiential learning is in the foreground.
