Screen The social dilemma in Classrooms

Host a screening to promote financial literacy:

Celebrate Financial Literacy Month with a screening of The Social Dilemma, made accessible to every teacher and student across the U.S. from April 26th – May 3rd.

The core aspects of financial literacy – critical thinking, healthy skepticism, caution – apply to more than just personal finance. A person’s digital health can directly impact their financial well-being. Ignite a conversation in your classroom about what it means to be a smart consumer in the digital age:

Explore the ways marketers capitalize on human psychology to drive “clicks” to their products and promote impulse buying.
Question the role social media plays in creating silos of news and information that reinforce pre-existing beliefs.
Empower students with knowledge and information to protect their personal and financial well-being and help them define what a healthy relationship with technology means to them.
