Frequently Asked Questions

Economic Education Week is all about future-proof economic education. It is the place to be for education professionals from secondary schools, universities and colleges who are in the process of incorporating new frameworks for economic thinking into their education, in order to make it more compatible with today's professional field and society as well as with what is needed for the future. During the Week of Economic Education, they have the opportunity to meet, learn from and inspire each other.

The third Week of Economics Education will take place Nov. 18-22, 2024. The week offers a substantive program for and by education professionals who show how they are creating space for new economic thinking within their education. Activities will take place throughout the week in which good examples will be shown, new economic principles will be discussed and education professionals can meet each other. Education professionals and institutions that have taken steps in future-proofing their economics education will have their say. Their stories offer inspiration and tools for others to apply in their own practice.

You can participate in Economics Education Week in four ways

  1. Share your experience with future-proof economy education and organize an activity. You can register an activity here.

  3. Get inspired during Economy Education Week by visiting one or more activities. In the agenda you will find an overview of all activities.

A hub acts as a central place for forward-looking economics education in a specific city/region or on a specific theme. It is a place buzzing with ideas about new economic thinking and where people are inspired how to incorporate them into their education. A hub sees itself as a "host" that allows different initiatives (internal and external) to come together to exchange knowledge and experience.

As an educational institution, do you want to show how you shape future-oriented economics education? Are you open to giving other education professionals (internal and external) a place to share their knowledge and experience under your roof? And do you have the facilities to host activities (both online and hybrid and on location)? Then sign up as a hub during Economy Education Week!

The third edition of Economy Education Week will take place from Nov. 18 to 22, with activities throughout the Netherlands. From a webinar in Groningen to a field trip in Zeeland.
Activities are offered separately, or clustered in a hub. This allows you to sign up for individual activities, or for a series that takes place under the roof of a hub.

The agenda will continue to take shape in the coming weeks. View the agenda here And sign up for one or more activities!

We could use your help in bringing attention to future-proof economics education in general, and the Week in particular! Bring attention to Economy Education Week bhe colleagues, students, school management, in the section or department. You can use our communication toolkit (click here). This toolkit contains tips, texts, the logo in different formats, a Canva template etc. Use the toolkit to invite your network, inform colleagues or students and draw attention to the (regional) press. Together we create commotion around the Week of Economics Education! #Week of Economics Education
