Holiday Day at Banka Slovenije

Banka Slovenije has held educational days for all age groups since 2017, including last year's special programme for children, called Holiday Day. It is intended for primary-school children, who are invited to spend one day with us during their summer vacations.

This summer we are holding several Holiday Days for curious young minds to make their holidays even more fun, while also sparking their interest in financial topics. We are thus holding three Holiday Days this summer: one on 5 July 2023 for children in grades 1 to 3, and then again on 12 July 2023 and 17 August for children in grades 4 to 7.

The programme will start with an introductory part in which the children will first get to know each other and then get some basic information about the central bank and discuss the various forms, meanings and uses of money. This will be followed by a guided tour of the Banka Slovenije Museum, where, among other things, the children will learn about banknotes and coins, feel the weight of a gold bar and take photos on a chair made of damaged shredded banknotes. Various workshops adapted to the children's ages will also be organised, and the day will conclude with a scavenger hunt and some games.

Each Holiday Day will start at 9 am and go on until 2.30 pm. They are free of charge, and children also receive a free lunch.
