Since the beginning of the school year, the financial education programme called "Suitcase Museum – Journey around Money" has reached 5,000 students in 200 classes and has so far been implemented in 23 municipalities. The aim is to have 8,000 pupils on the "journey" – to learn about everyday finances in a playful manner - by the start of the winter holidays. The free Hungarian Money Museum programme will continue next year and is open to all primary and secondary schools in the country.

The experts at the Money Museum work with students on financial and economic topics that are essential to everyday life, usually in the context of a maths lesson or a class teacher’s lesson. So far, more than 8,000 pupils from 12 counties have participated in the financial education programme. The calendar is designed with a special focus on municipalities far from Budapest, since the interactive museum and visitor centre on Széll Kálmán Square is more difficult to reach from these locations.

The lesson for primary school pupils uses practical examples to help transfer knowledge, such as calculating the cost of a trip so that students do not exceed the budget available.  In addition to cost planning, the secondary school sessions also cover basic financial concepts such as credit and the purchasing power of money. The interactive educational session is available free of charge to all primary and secondary schools.
