Martina Peštaj, MA (in cooperation with Kako.si): How to guide children through today's digital jungle 

Our children are digital natives: they are born into an environment where TV, computers, tablets and smartphones are part of everyday life. Colourful images on the screen are appealing to children, and they are also often welcomed by parents when we need a moment for ourselves. The offer has never been so extensive, an infinite forest in which children can easily get lost. That is why they need adult guidance to help them safely navigate the digital forest and discover its sunny and shady sides by means of well-considered content selection, shared viewing, conversations and by setting examples. You are invited to a conversation where theory will be effectively mixed with practice and experience.
