What is Tradity?

Tradity is a young educational initiative for students with the aim of fundamentally changing and improving financial education in Germany. Tradity aims to make education more digital, entertaining and individual: True to the motto “Gamifying Education”, Tradity teaches young people about business, finance and the stock market via the annual Tradity competition, in which participants can apply their knowledge and trade shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in real time. Tradity works together with the consumer advice center and professors from WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management, among others, on the learning content and is supported by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training in Schleswig-Holstein, among others. To date, more than 20,000 students from over 250 schools throughout Germany have taken part in the competition and the associated final event.

We are a student initiative of the WHU-Otto Beisheim School of Management. Our Tradity meets WHU event takes place every year on the campus in Vallendar and is supported by WHU every year.
