This workshop will introduce a new collaborative initiative designed for educators interested in rethinking how we teach the evolving concept of money. Based on the course “Re-Imagining Money for a Sustainable Future,” now part of the “Economy and Society” bachelor program at Lund University (Sweden) as well as of the “AI and Business Administration” at ESADE (Barcelona), the initiative invites participants to join a global network to share course content, adapt content to diverse contexts, co-develop teaching materials, and co-author teaching cases on various kinds of moneys. The workshop will explore how to organize such an educational collaboration. It invites workshop participants to an open dialogue with the goal of building a vibrant community of educators dedicated to transforming business and economics education on ‘money in society'.

On the final day we shall attempt to put theory into practice: If money a tool for collaboration should not money experts be the best collaborators on the planet?
