Key

A la carte elements

The à la carte section is a sort of ‘digital store cupboard’, stocked with adaptable elements – both relevant and practical – that can be easily integrated into lessons. Many of the elements deal with current economics-related topics and have been designed to complement resources commonly used in Swiss upper secondary schools, like standard textbooks or videos.

Additional information

Each element has a separate section on its web page providing additional information on the topic. This generally includes useful and relevant links to websites, videos, books, articles and so on. The list is updated on a regular basis.

Comments

Comments may be submitted for all à la carte elements.
