As a nationwide initiative, wigy e. V. has been working since 1993 to anchor economic education as an integral part of the general education system and to raise awareness of economic relationships among the general public.
Wigy e.V. is aimed at teachers, trainee teachers, entrepreneurs, institutions and associations as well as anyone who would like to support this goal. The association promotes the interlinking of stakeholders and activities and offers numerous support services for teaching, particularly in the form of teaching materials, which are available for members to download from an online pool. The core tasks of the association include the establishment and expansion of a nationwide network of schools, science, business and education policy for a constant exchange of information and communication in economic education.
The board members are: Dr Holger Peinemann, Uta Jack, Dr Thomas Hildebrandt (IHK), Ralf Kunze (Öffentliche Versicherung Oldenburg), Julia von Walcke-Schuldt (teacher).
