Beautiful New Media World!? – Guidance for Parents in the Digital World
Smartphones, artificial intelligence, gaming, and social networks shape the daily lives of children and adolescents. The theme evening Beautiful New Media World!? invites parents and educational professionals to the Youth Cultural Center OTTO in Fürth on November 19, 2026. Between 18:00 and 20:30, the focus will be on opportunities, risks, and specific ways to promote conscious media education.
Media Competence between Fascination and Challenge
Digital media offer children and adolescents a variety of possibilities. At the same time, questions arise regarding boundaries, attention, data protection, fake news, hate speech, violence, and problematic usage behavior. The event presents these topics in a practical manner and is aimed at families with children from kindergarten age to graduation.
Workshops with Expertise from Fürth
At the center are six lectures and workshops in two consecutive rounds. Among other things, insights into media education, the importance of parental role models, the opportunities and risks of AI, problematic use, and the gaming world of children and adolescents are planned.
