Introduction
The Interactive Economy Museum (MIDE) and Profuturo have introduced “Your Future Self,” a permanent exhibit designed to promote financial education through an engaging and accessible experience. This new proposal targets individuals of all ages, from children to senior adults, using games, technology, and sensory tools to demonstrate how our economic decisions shape the future.
Experiential Details
“Your Future Self” invites visitors to reflect on savings, credit, insurance, and financial planning through interactive dynamics. These include a video game called “Come-Ahorros,” a digital insurance board, and credit simulators. Another dynamic allows visitors to record a message for their “future self,” visualizing how they might look in decades to come.
Key Figures
Arturo Garcia, General Director of Profuturo, emphasized that this initiative stems from the belief that a secure financial future is built in the present. Meanwhile, Silvia Singer, Director of MIDE, highlighted that the exhibit encourages imagining and reimagining life stages.
