Our objective is not just to educate investors. We also want to show companies how to communicate with investors and build good investor relations.

Broadcasts addressed to shareholders in the media
Starting from 24 September 2013, TVP1 will broadcast a three-part program entitled “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About The Stock Exchange.” The broadcast will provide instructions on how to become an investor, select companies and purchase stock, and how to minimize the risk of loss. Presentations are conducted using simple, straightforward language. They are innovative and contain lots of animation.

We are organizing 23 free workshops across Poland on the basics of investing on the stock exchange. They will be held from November 2013 to March 2014.
