The Education Foundation of Sarasota County invites the community to a free screening of the award-winning documentary, “Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age.” The film will be shown Oct. 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. at North Port High School (NPHS) auditorium and Oct. 23 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Riverview High School (RHS) auditorium. Admission is free but online reservations are required. Tickets can be reserved for the Oct. 22 NPHS screening at tinyurl.com/NPHSscreenagers and for the Oct. 23 RHS screening at tinyurl.com/RHSscreenagers. 

“Screenagers” explores how tech time impacts kids’ development and includes solutions for how adults can empower their kids to navigate and find balance in the digital world. The film goes beyond exposing risks to reveal multiple approaches about how parents and educators can work respectfully with kids to help them achieve a healthy amount of screen time.

An interactive question-and-answer session will be held immediately following the screenings. Panelists include subject-matter experts in the fields of child psychology, education, cybersecurity and public safety.
