Bourstad and FinÉcoLab: financial and economic education tools for schools and the general public

As part of Financial Literacy Month, CIRANO is pleased to remind you the financial and economic education tools available to schools and the general public! 


→ FinÉcoLab educational games: for fun learning about financial and economic concepts!

The FinécoLab educational games kit is a completely free online tool that makes teaching economics and finance effective, fun and easy. It allows students to discover economics through experimentation. Experiments take the form of educational simulations in which participants have to make simple economic decisions - how to buy, sell, cooperate, save... The decisions made during the game and the results are then used as a basis for exploring the economic and financial concepts under study. Since this year, the game kit is also available in English.

→ Introduction to stock market investing with Bourstad!

Bourstad is an initiative offering a range of learning activities and stock market simulations. This educational program aims to promote the acquisition of new knowledge in responsible investment and portfolio management. In a Bourstad simulation, the participant assumes the role of investment advisor for a fictitious investor, while reacting to real market developments. The application also offers support functions for teachers and those responsible for private simulations and the Bourstad competition in schools.
