This workshop for parents, educators and youth ages 11 and up explores:
How does the media impact you? How about our families? Our classrooms? Our society? How do we manage rapidly changing new media and mediums such as Facebook, smart phones, 24 hour news cycles, video and online games as well as the omnipresent influence of marketing and advertising in our daily lives? How do screens affect our brains and our development? Why is it important to become media literate?

Free to middle and high school youth.$5 suggested donation for adult attendees.

Register in advance through GR Parks and Rec or at the door the day of the event.


Facilitated by members of STOK (Stop Targeting Our Kids): a Grand Rapids based advocacy group focused on raising media literacy awareness and eliminating the commercialization of childhood.
