Where Are The Kids In The Big Picture? with Tim Brooke Hunt, Briar Grace Smith and Dr Ian Hassall
Today's preschoolers are brought up with tablets and mobile phones in their hands. They have the world at their fingertips, but what does it mean for them and our culture if that world doesn't include their own stories? If they don't have the chance to see and hear themselves and their communities on screen today how can we expect them to embrace local stories as adults? As new platforms and lack of funding present new challenges, it's timely to consider where our kids are in the big picture.
Panelists: Tim Brooker-Hunt, Briar Grace-Smith, Dr Ian Hassall and Yvonne Mackay.
Moderator: Ruth Zanker.
Presented in association with the Kids on Screen Trust.
