Storytelling Activism: Media Literacy for Child Care Workers
Saturday December 11, 2010
Getting heard and being listened to can make a difference for building supportive communities. At this half-day workshop we’ll learn how to be more effective communicators through use of news media, blogs, videos, advocacy, and other communication tools.
The workshop is facilitated by Tom Kertes. Tom has extensive experience in early education and care, including as a preschool teacher and director of a child care centre, as an ECE professor at Seneca College in Toronto, as Policy and Communications Advisor for Ontario’s self-regulatory College of Early Childhood Educators and as a professional story teller and science demonstrator at schools, conferences and museums across North America.
We will learn practical strategies and skills, including useful ideas and strategies for people who are interested in being an effective communicator for B.C.’s children and families. All child care workers, including parents, grandparents, nannies, daycare providers, preschool teachers, and other early childhood educators are encouraged to join us for this informative and hands-on introduction to media literacy.
