Webinar Ukkie days

Library holds webinar during the annual Media Ukkie Dagen which takes place from 4 to 11 April. One week of media education for young children takes centre stage. This year's theme is ‘Using media together’. 

Many (grand-)parents know that using media together with children is good. Yet this happens less and less. Children increasingly use media alone. Time to turn this around! How and why? This is the subject of a webinar. The webinar is aimed at (grand)parents and carers of children aged 0 to 6 years. Professionals working with young children are also welcome. The aim: to reflect on the role of media in parenting. What is the benefit of using media together? How do you make conscious choices that contribute to your child's development?

Denise Bontje (Mediasmarties.nl) gives practical tips for safe and engaged media use. Using media together, you don't have to do it alone! Denise is an expert on language and media education. Together with Manon Bontje, she runs Mediasmarties, the online media guide for children aged 0 - 12. The webinar is part of the Media Ukkie Dagen, an initiative of Netwerk Mediawijsheid, and is offered by Bibliotheek de Lage Beemden in cooperation with Libraries in the Netherlands and Mediasmarties.

The webinar is aimed at (grand)parents, caregivers and professionals. It is online via Webinargeek. Check the calendar on the library's website to find out how to register.
