The Media Education Lecture For The Parents

SFC will arrange media educational lectures concerning AV-media for the parents of school-aged children. 
The lecture is a great addition to for example parents congregation evenings.

Television is one of the biggest influencers of our time. There are also many kinds of moving pictures in the 
internet with unlimited access. Youngsters  often watch intensively format-based programs which could curtail 
their own imagination and make them passive. In many cases parents have no skills to manage even with their 
own media experiences nor to talk about those with their children. The purpose of the lecture is to encourage 
adults to think about the world of  youngster from the media's point of view.

In the lecture actor and media educator Jari Forsman handles about the relationship of the youngsters and 
Television. The duration of the lecture is approximately 40 minutes.

The main subjects are:

-The short history of the Television
-The passivationing impact or inspiring influence of the Television
-The differences between the Television and imaginary-building forms of storytelling
-The purposes of commercial TV-production
-The essence and the various forms of the violence in media entertainment
