The third in a virtual 3 part series, Saving Us! – Working Toward Climate Resilience. Please register in advance, choosing the dates you would like to attend: https://tinyurl.com/cpw-saving-us

Presenters: Voices for Climate (V4C)

Join us for this final session of the series to brainstorm actions each of us can take to turn a looming crisis into a triumph of human ‘can do’ spirit. Through short videos and discussion we’ll explore some of the potential pathways that, individually and collectively, we can tackle the climate crisis head on. Attending the prior 2 sessions in this series is not required but definitely useful. All attendees are asked, in advance of this session, to watch this 7 minute video of David Attenborough’s Nov. ’21 speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6SO0xkr_uI

Voices for Climate (V4C) is a grassroots group, based in Granville, MA, dedicated to creating community conversations regarding climate change.  V4C’s key goals are: non-partisan, science-based public education; community engagement; and advocacy for equitable climate legislation at the state-level.

This series is hosted by the Emily Williston Memorial Library, a member of the Pioneer Valley Library Collaborative, in partnership with Voices for Climate. This program is funded in part by Emily’s Friends of the Library.

Raising Humans in a Digital World: For Parents of Middle Schoolers and Up
Oct 20 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Easthampton Public Schools, Easthampton Healthy Youth Coalition, Emily Williston Memorial Library and the Easthampton PTO present a FREE ZOOM webinar: Raising Humans in a Digital World 

For Parents of Middle Schoolers and Up

This is a virtual program and will be presented via Zoom.

Our digital media world can be a scary, dangerous place, especially for children. Digital Literacy educator, advocate, and frequent contributor to Psychology Today Diana Graber will share with us how parents and caregivers can help our kids navigate this environment and build a healthy relationship with technology.

This presentation will be addressed to parents of children approximately 12 years of age and up. Topics will include: digital reputation management, screen time and balance, the most popular social media platforms amongst teens (TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat), maintaining online privacy, and much more. It overviews other topics in my book and a discussion guide would be sent to you afterwards so attendees may continue to discuss topics after the presentation.

This event is sponsored by the Easthampton Learning Foundation.
