Online formula (MS Teams)
Selected Tuesdays 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
The Open Economics Lectures, to which you are cordially invited, treat various aspects of economics!
Economics describes and analyses what makes up economic reality. Microeconomics is the science that studies the individual elements that make up the economy (such as companies, households, branches and sectors of the economy, etc.). Macroeconomics uses aggregate quantities and studies the regularities that occur in the economy as a whole, such as, among others, the creation and distribution of national income, inflation, unemployment and many other phenomena that affect our everyday life.
For whom:
Attendees of the lectures can be people of all ages, younger and older, pupils, teachers, students, graduates, people working in different sectors.
For students and teachers: it is a valuable aid to the issues that arise within the framework of ‘Entrepreneurship Basics’ and the teaching of economic and business subjects.
For students: some of the issues discuss economic problems that also occur in subject competitions.
For students: an aid to understanding the issues discussed in course lectures and to supplement knowledge studied in other disciplines.
For everyone: an explanation of current economic phenomena taking place in the world around us.
The Open Economic Lectures have also become a source of inspiration in the search for a career path based on sound knowledge of the surrounding world and the socio-economic system in which we live.

PROGRAMME OF THE IXth EDITION
The next lecture will take place on 19.11.2024.
Lecture entitled ‘Buying rationally, not emotionally: how to defend against manipulation and avoid market traps.’
The lecture is led by: Associate Professor Anna Maria Nikodemska-Wołowik, Department of Sustainable Market Processes
Moderator: Associate Professor Anna Blajer – Gołębiewska
Many times we feel overstimulated by the numerous actions from the supply side of the market that induce us to buy. We succumb to temptations uncontrollably. The modern consumer needs to be aware of the many traps and manipulative techniques encountered in both stationary and online shopping. During the meeting, we will consider how to resist persuasive promotions and make rational purchasing decisions, dealing with emotions. In addition, the aim of the lecture is to show the dangers of excessive consumption. The modern consumer should be aware of the impact of his/her choices on the environment and society, striving for a sustainable lifestyle.
