Are you a parent or a teacher? Do you ever think about how to help your children or pupils navigate the omnipresent world of audiovisual media?

Our cozy fireside chat with special guests Saskia van Roomen (London Film School) and Matthieu Bakolas (Quai10),  moderated by Anne Schultka (KIDS Regio), discusses the ways to keep audiovisual education informal and enjoyable for everyone and to make sure educational initiatives do not exclude groups of people who do not generally feel invited to culture.
