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

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.

Alice’s Ordinary People is a documentary film about Alice Tregay – a woman who refused to stand still for injustice. Her remarkable story spans the historic period from the marches of Dr. King to the election of Barack Obama, and her unique contribution in the field of politics is the thread that connects the two.

This hour-long Zoom program is a presentation and discussion with independent filmmaker Craig Dudnick, who brought Alice’s story to life in the documentary. Learn more about Craig and the film at http://imaginevideo.org/
