Financial literacy in action: students tried out the role of family budget managers

In June, a financial literacy tournament was held at the Catholic Grammar School in Trebic, which was attended by the Septima and 3A classes. The event was led by Ing. Lenka Lízalová, Ph.D. from the College of Polytechnics Jihlava, who introduced the students to the principles of financial decision-making through the interactive online game FinGrPlay.

In the game, students found themselves in the role of budget managers of a fictional family and had to deal with real life situations - planning spending, saving, investing, and unexpected financial challenges. The tournament was not only competitive, but also deepened practical skills that students will use in their everyday lives.

In addition to the competition itself, the students were intrigued by the inspiring words of Albert Einstein, which many took away from the event as a personal motto: "Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it."

The event was not only an opportunity to expand knowledge, but also to motivate a responsible approach to finance. Students left with the feeling that financial literacy is not just a school subject, but a skill important for life.

To all the winners, congratulations!
