Money & Bitcoin: Modern and Practical Education

Bitcoin can seem a controversial subject in school at first glance. Getting this topic into schools' financial literacy curricula will certainly not be an easy task. The founder and director of INEV will tell us how it can be done. The talk will show how Bitcoin can be used as a practical and comprehensible tool in primary and secondary school teaching, without being about ideology or investment advice.
