The Kids' Flea Market at the 7th Asset Management EXPO
The 7th Asset Management EXPO, scheduled to take place from August 28 to 30, 2026, at Intex Osaka, is a major event that covers various aspects of asset management, including stocks, real estate, and insurance. This year, it will feature the inaugural Kids' Flea Market, organized by the Kids' Flea Market NPO from Tokyo. The event aims to provide children with a hands-on opportunity to experience the concepts of buying and selling.
Understanding Financial Literacy through Experience
During the two-day event, on August 29 and 30, kids will have the chance to take on the role of shopkeepers at the flea market. They will learn about pricing products, engaging with customers, and managing sales—all essential skills for understanding financial transactions. As parents participate in seminars to learn about asset cultivation, their children will immerse themselves in the dynamics of money flow and the value of goods.
This unique concept focuses on the dual learning opportunity where parents gain knowledge about building their assets while children engage practically with money management concepts. By using actual cash during their transactions, kids gain a realistic perspective on commerce.
Event Details and Participation
The Kids' Flea Market will operate for two days within the larger context of the Asset Management EXPO. Each day will feature two sessions, providing ample opportunities for children to engage actively. As parents delve into important topics on wealth creation, children will relish the excitement of selling and buying, and understand the significance of communicating effectively with customers.
Reflections on Learning
Participants in the Kids' Flea Market will fill out reflection sheets after their experience to document what they learned about money management and the transaction process. This reinforces their understanding and allows them to reflect on their hands-on experiences.
Insights from the Organizer
According to Keihiko Akaike, the representative of the Kids' Flea Market NPO, “For adults, asset management is a crucial theme. However, we believe that the first step to understanding the basics of money comes from childhood experiences. We are thrilled to provide a space at the Asset Management EXPO where parents can learn about asset formation, while children can explore the exciting world of buying and selling.”
