SUMMARY:Suncoast Talks: Guardrails & Grit Part II: The Algorithm Is Raising Our Kids
DESCRIPTION:The algorithm is raising our kids. It’s time we took that job back. \nAsk any parent on the Sunshine Coast what keeps them up at night\, and somewhere in the answer you’ll hear the word “phone”; Not the device itself\, but what’s coming through it. Hyper-sexualised content. Toxic influencers peddling warped scripts about what it means to be a man\, what a relationship should look like\, what consent even is. It’s not a future risk. It’s already shaping how our sons see themselves\, and how our daughters expect to be treated. \nThis isn’t a problem that stops at any one school gate. It’s a Sunshine Coast problem\, which is why the next Suncoast Talks event is open to every parent\, carer and school in the region. \n \nYouth advocate and educator Daniel Principe has spent years in the room with young people\, in every state and territory\, in schools of every kind\, watching this play out. In Guardrails & Grit Part II: The Algorithm Is Raising Our Kids\, Daniel dives into how algorithms are shaping our kids to help parents figure out how to take back control together. \nOpen to all Sunshine Coast parents\, carers\, educators and school communities.\nBookings are essential and seating is limited. \nLEARN MORE & REGISTER
