The Steinm\u00fchle was the first high school in Marburg to host the so-called \u201cFuture Day.\u201d The goal of the organizer, the \u201cInitiative for Economic Education for Youth\u201d from Kassel, is to teach high school students skills related to finance, housing, taxes, and health insurance. <\/p>\n

These four areas are not covered in depth in secondary school curricula\u2014much to the chagrin of many students, who, while they leave school with a strong academic foundation, are unfamiliar with rental agreements or financial investments. The Kassel Initiative, a nonprofit organization whose members themselves have not been out of school for very long, addresses this very issue. Since January 2019, these young people have held their \u201cFuture Day\u201d event dozens of times at various schools throughout Germany. Ever since the Handelsblatt reported on it, the event has practically become a runaway success. <\/p>\n

Speakers from the region<\/strong><\/p>\n

In all cases, experts from the region provide information on finance, housing, taxes, and health insurance. The speakers are hired by the association and are required to refrain from promoting their employers. To ensure this, the association works with the respective experts in advance to develop the content. <\/p>\n

At the Steinm\u00fchle, representatives from a financial institution, a real estate agency, a health insurance company, and a tax advisor spoke. After the event, feedback forms were distributed to the student body. They provided an overview of the areas that the experts had explained particularly well. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The initiative comes from Kassel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ben G\u00f6bel is an economics student in Kassel and organized the Future Day event at the Steinm\u00fchle together with Anna Proetel. She studies sociology and political science and, like Ben, is a member of the organizing association. Together with six other colleagues and a network of volunteers, they work on a volunteer basis; they were initially in Marburg and, shortly thereafter, practically simultaneously in Munich, Berlin, and Giessen. The organization and logistics are financially supported by foundations. The Hessian Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs is also among the sponsors. It views the initiative not as competition for schools, but as a complement to them. <\/p>\n
