AXA IM has been involved in the PolECulE initiative for several years, and from the beginning of the programme when a conversation at an event highlighted a need to improve financial education and learning for students. PolECulE is a university sponsored programme designed to enhance the political and economic understanding of German students in Hessen. It was launched in 2015 in one German school, thanks to the joint initiative of AXA IM and Goethe University. Today, PolECulE is on the curriculum in the whole state of Hessen. It features bilingual courses combining political and economic content with cultural studies, starting from school year 6.
