UPCOMING EVENTS & WORKSHOPS
Exposure to Online Sexual content: How to Protect Your Child
Next date offered: TBA (contact us if you are interested in specific dates/times)
Location: 23-1 Tintorettostraat, 1077RP
Cost: EUR30 discounts for couples and groups.
In this interactive workshop, I offer parents a safe, culturally sensitive space in which to talk about topics that cover the scenarios in which young people encounter online sexual content. As a small group, we jointly explore how these scenarios are connected to offline friend groups and online youth culture, how schools attempt to address these issues and how parents can find opportunities and techniques for engaging with their children to reduce child anxiety and strengthen trust and communication. The workshop also covers the latest EU research as well as legal information that can give parents more clarity to help them with the daily decisions a parent is often confronted with.

Friends Like Me is a media project that has grown out of my experiences as a teacher. This project, currently in the form of a blog, features interviews I have filmed over the last five years with children and adolescents who share their experiences of what it is like to grow up using social media.
