Dr. Elina Larsson presents: 'Teaching Personal Finance and Consumer Education'

The seminar focus is on financial literacy and consumer competence in a digital society. This includes areas such as budgeting, consumption patterns, advertising and marketing influence, consumer rights, and everyday financial decision-making.

The work builds on constructivist and experiential perspectives on learning, inspired by Vygotsky, Dewey and Kolb.In practice, this means starting from situations students recognise in their everyday lives and using these as a basis for exploration, discussion and reflection.
