We have integrated the cinematic medium with a presentation format to directly engage classrooms, creating an event that blends films with interactive discussions.

​​​

​

The key objectives of our presentation are as follows:

​

• Demystifying Puerto Rican Reality: We will explore common myths about Puerto Rico and challenge these through expert perspectives from multiple disciplines, supported by our documentary material.

• Fostering Critical Thinking: The event will help students develop critical thinking skills by questioning simplified narratives and developing a deeper understanding of social issues.

• Demonstrating the Power of Unifying Perspectives: By integrating insights from various disciplines, our screenings will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges Puerto Rico faces.

• Highlighting the Role of Art and Storytelling: We will emphasize the power of storytelling and the arts as vehicles for conveying complex knowledge and fostering social cohesion.

As a result, we contribute to strengthening students' critical thinking, giving them a deeper understanding of Puerto Rican reality and the role of storytelling in society.
