Television 101: Using TV to Spark Imagination and Discussion
Can TV shows and movies really help bring families closer together? Definitely! Let’s talk about how can you use shows and movies to spark conversation, inspire research and study, motivate discussions, and give your family something to bond over. Yes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer can be educational! Hosted by Tamra Orr.
Outside Activities and Your Unschooling Life
Outside activities enrich our children’s growth and development and can be a big part of unschooling. They provide an opportunity to try new things and learn new skills.
In your household, how do you find out about activities, evaluate their cost and quality, and decide upon participation? What role does your unschooling child play in this process? Are they free to do anything they want, or do you feel a need to steer them in a given direction?
Come discuss the role outside activities play in your unschooling lives. We’ll compare notes about what you consider a “good” program and how do you determine if it is meeting the needs of your family. Hosted by Bret Winkler.
Meet and Greet for Newbies
We will help everyone attending the conference for the first time understand the flow of the conference, maneuvering logistics, tips on getting your needs met and answer any questions you might have about how to make the conference work for you and your family. Or if you’re not a newbie, come share your favorite conference tips. Hosted by Carolyn Winkler.
Recovery Circle
For those needing Recovery friendship, hope and support during the conference we will be having a 12-step recovery meeting here at LIG. For anyone already in recovery in a 12-step program, for those new to recovery, those interested in recovery, whether you are struggling with your addiction at this time, or are in a good place and can provide experience, strength and hope to others we will be meeting together and be able to support each other throughout our conference time here.
