Become a tour guide for the AEX Experience
In 2013, Euronext Amsterdam, in collaboration with Stichting Capital Amsterdam, launched the AEX Experience - an educational initiative aimed at enhancing the financial literacy of students. This project aligns with Stichting Capital Amsterdam's educational goals, alongside promoting market financing, stock exchange activities, and preserving Dutch stock market heritage. The AEX Experience has been a successful concept, often paired with tours of De Nederlandsche Bank by schools. After a decade, the experience is being upgraded to resonate with today's youth and is set to reopen in September 2025 following a comprehensive renovation.
The AEX Experience offers visitors an immersive journey into the world of finance, providing insights into the workings of investing, the AEX index and the Amsterdam stock exchange. Our mission is to educate and inspire individuals about the financial markets through engaging and informative tours.
The AEX Experience is a 1-hour tour designed for scholars and students aged 15-21 years. It offers:
- An opportunity to discover the world of investing.
- An interactive and educational experience where they learn about the history of the stock exchange.
- A chance to enhance their financial knowledge by participating in the 'Investing' course and applying what they have learned in the Investors Game.
- A challenge to see if they can become the best investor and make the most profit.
The AEX Experience is a joint initiative by Euronext Amsterdam and Stichting Capital Amsterdam, the independent foundation that promotes the importance of the public capital market in the Netherlands. Goal of the AEX Experience is to increase the financial literacy of future generations of investors in the Netherlands.
