From today, students and educators in Danish primary and secondary schools are granted free access to the acclaimed Netflix series 'Adolescence,' thanks to a new collaboration between the Center for Teaching Materials (CFU) and Netflix. This initiative aims to enhance education by encouraging dialogue around the themes and questions presented in the series, thereby integrating contemporary issues into the classroom environment.

The series is designed to foster nuanced conversations about social relationships and digital behavior, offering educators a robust tool to address vital topics such as community, boundaries, and digital phenomena. Line Maxen, Vice Chair of CFU, emphasized in a press release how the series can serve as a strong resource for teachers, enabling them to engage students in meaningful discussions about the challenges and realities of their digital lives.

This collaboration reflects a growing awareness of the importance of digital literacy among the youth, and aims to equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of digital interactions. By integrating popular media into educational contexts, the initiative seeks to create a more relevant and engaging learning experience for students, addressing their lived experiences in a digital age.
