School Group Vacant Possession: Scam Detectives

FREE ENTRY

An aspect of the Vacant Possession Exhibition featuring an above ground pool with incomplete framing and fallen leaves. A digital print of citrus trees obscures the dark wall behind.

After engaging in the immersive environment created by Mark Schroder, students will piece together a tale of deception and ill gotten financial gains. Inspired and provoked by their experience, learners will be invited to look at a series of investment opportunities, identifying red flags or indications of authenticity. We will look at the ways scammers take advantage of their victims and how to protect themselves. Finally students will calculate their potential money lost through poor decision making.

This programme is linked to the Draft Curriculum for Year 9 Social Sciences.

Ages: Y7 – Y13
