The Great Hack as invitation to a learning activity

The Netflix movie “The Great Hack” can definitely serve as a good basis for learning about the modern data economy.

But what comes after that? How to truly empower students in this space?

Have you got an idea for a related learning activity? Please share!

Hi Paul,

We in MyData Barcelona Hub are talking and thinking about a raising awareness activity or event which may interest the local mainstream media

Perhaps an event as this (screening The Great Hack + expert panel) can be interesting: https://mydata2019.org/programme-page/the-great-hack-special-screening/ ?? We launch the idea in public twitter yesterday and we had good feedback.

We have some contacts whit universities, related professional sectors, some related public administrations services (for to get sponsors).

What do you think about this project, @paulolivier?

Can we have some people related whit de doc?

Next steps?

Hi Josep,
Netflix makes the movie available to such initiatives, and it is sometimes possible to get some of the participants in the documentary to come. The entire budget for this has to be supported by the hosts though, so that can get pretty expensive.
I am not sure though that a panel is the best way to proceed. It might attract a wider public, but a smaller group focused on an activity afterwards might be more effective.
